Other interested clubs

Tony Pulis’s West Brom are not the only club who are (reportedly) interested in signing the 24-year-old defender in the summer transfer window.

According to The Daily Mail, Liverpool, Manchester City and Tottenham Hotspur are also interested in the former England Under-21 international.

Worth £30 million?

Gibson is a very good defender and has been one of the best players for relegation candidates Middlesbrough in the Premier League this season.

The defender is probably not worth £30m at the moment, as he does not have too much experience of playing at the very top level, but he is certainly a very promising player who is only going to get better.

Gibson has scored one goal and created two chances in 34 Premier League appearances for Boro so far this season.
