Middlesbrough pair Gibson, Traore wanted by Premier League clubs

Middlesbrough defender Ben Gibson is attracting Premier League interest.

The Daily Mail says manager Tony Pulis is open to offloading a number of his squad to raise funds for rebuilding and Gibson will attract substantial offers.

Southampton, Everton, Leicester City and West Ham have all posted initial interest as they weigh up targets for the summer.

Gibson was called up to the England squad last year but Boro's relegation from the Premier League effectively put paid to hopes of making the World Cup squad.

West Ham also have an interest in Gibson's team-mate Adama Traore.
