Everton join the race to sign Championship defender

Everton are one of three Premier League teams interested in signing Ben Gibson this summer.

According to Sky Sports, the Toffees are eyeing up Gibson ahead of a potential move when the transfer window opens.

The report claims that Leicester City and West Ham are also interested in the central defender.

Gibson has been a consistent performer at the heart of the Middlesbrough defence this season in the Championship and has caught the eye once again.

He was heavily expected to leave Middlesbrough last summer after their relegation from the Premier League but a deal never materialised.

Boro are currently in a battle for promotion via the play-offs but if they aren’t able to finish in the top six, or if they are knocked out of the play-offs, there is a good chance that Gibson will look for a transfer.
