Arsenal youngster Kieran Gibbs has revealed Norwich's style of play was a key reason for his loan move to Carrow Road.The 18-year-old was told by Gunners boss Arsene Wenger that Glenn Roeder's team was the place to go for some first-team experience.

"I spoke to the chief scout and my academy director and they said that he (Wenger) wanted me to go out on loan to somewhere where they like to try and play football, so he thought Norwich would be a good place to come and get that experience," Gibbs told the club's official website.

"I haven't had that experience, I've had one or two games this season but I think it should be interesting.

"This is the nitty-gritty part, the part which should toughen me up mentally and physically as well, so I think it should be good."
