Liverpool & Chelsea target Gibson willing to leave Middlesbrough

The 24-year-old defender has been linked with a move to some of the biggest clubs in the Premier League despite Boro's relegation to the Championship

Ben Gibson has hinted he would be open to leaving Middlesbrough at the end of the season as he wants to stay in the Premier League.

Boro's relegation from the top flight was confirmed after a 3-0 defeat at champions Chelsea on May 8 and they have taken just 28 points from their 37 league games.

Captain Gibson described relegation as the lowest moment of his life and the defender - who was called up by England for the first time in March - suggested he could move on from Middlesbrough.
