Manchester City are reportedly ready to give up in their pursuit of West Bromwich Albion skipper Jonny Evans and turn their attention to Middlesbrough's Ben Gibson.
According to Jack Pitt-Brooke of The Independent, City are concerned about how much Evans would cost, with the Baggies said to be ready to hold out for more than £30 million for the Northern Ireland international.
"City have identified Gibson as the best alternative to Evans, given his Premier League experience and his qualification as an England-trained player under UEFA regulations," the piece continued.
