Several key Baggies players are tipped to leave following their drop into the Championship, with Jonny Evans, Jake Livermore and Salomon Rondon also among the expected departures.

While the report does not say who from the English top flight is interested in Gibbs, should Everton be among those keeping tabs on the 28-year-old?

Problem area for Toffees

Gibbs has plenty of experience in the division from his time spent at West Brom and at Arsenal before that, but is five years younger than his fellow Englishman and is right in his prime.
