Report: Middlesbrough join the race to sign Leeds target Ben Gibson

According to reports from The Sunday People (printed edition, page 51) Middlesbrough are keeping an eye on Burnley defender Ben Gibson this summer.

The 26-year-old joined Burnley last season from Middlesbrough for £15 million but the Clarets are apparently ready to let him go this summer after he endured a torrid time at Turf Moor.

The Northern Echo reported last week that several Premier League clubs are vying for his signature including Newcastle, Aston Villa, Norwich and Sheffield United.

However, there are interests from the Championship clubs as well with Leeds United being linked with a move.
