Manchester City to bid for Gibson
After failing to prise Jonny Evans away from West Brom, Pep Guardiola has now turned his attention to Middlesbrough's Ben Gibson.
According to the 'Daily Mail', City are preparing a £20m bid for the defender.
Guardiola remains interested bringing Jonny Evans to the Etihad, but understands he might have more luck in pursuing a deal for Gibson.
The Riverside club are determined to keep the 24-year-old this summer having already rejected two West Brom bids, the second in the region of £20m.
City are now firmly in the running to land Gibson's signature, but it remains to be seen whether they will offer a big enough figure for Middlesbrough to accept.
