West Bromwich Albion are reportedly at the head of the queue to sign Middlesbrough centre-back Ben Gibson at the end of the 2016-17 campaign.
Gibson, 24, who received his first England call-up in March, is expected to leave the Riverside Stadium this summer following the club's relegation back to the Championship.
A number of clubs have been linked with a move for the defender, but according to The Mirror, West Brom lead the race after head coach Tony Pulis scouted Gibson against Chelsea on Monday night.
The defender only signed a new five-year contract with Middlesbrough last August, while he has started all 36 of their Premier League matches during the 2016-17 campaign.
Gibson is the nephew of Middlesbrough chairman Steve Gibson.
