Burnley Reportedly Agree £15m Fee for Middlesbrough Defender Ben Gibson

Burnley are poised to make Middlesbrough's Ben Gibson their first signing of the summer, according to Sky Sports reporter Keith Downie.

Downie is reporting that the Clarets have had a £15m bid accepted by Boro following two unsuccessful approaches in the last two days.

"Burnley have agreed a fee of £15m with Middlesbrough for Ben Gibson," he tweeted on Friday. "The Clarets had failed with two previous bids of £12m & £13m over the past 48 hours."

Gibson has made 185 appearances for the Riverside club since 2010 and signed a five-year deal last season.
