Arsenal eyeing Middlesbrough defender Ben Gibson

Arsenal are eyeing Middlesbrough defender Ben Gibson.

The Daily Express says Arsene Wenger is set to extend his contract with the Gunners at the end of the season and wants to add the defender.

Although he has been unable to prevent his side from being relegated back to the Championship, Gibson has been outstanding for Boro.

The 24-year-old, who is also wanted by Chelsea and Liverpool, has four years left on his contract at the Riverside.

However, after breaking into the England squad for the first time, he is likely to leave his hometown club for a fee in the region of £25m.
