Leicester City are again showing interest in Middlesbrough's Ben Gibson.

The Daily Mirror reports that the Foxes are watching the 24-year-old centre-back closely ahead of the summer transfer window.

But the reigning Premier League champions will surely have plenty of competition for the Boro star who is also being monitored by Chelsea, Tottenham Hotspur, Liverpool and Stoke City.

Gibson looks likely to leave the Riverside Stadium if Middlesbrough are relegated from the Premier League this season but the Teesside club will not give up without a fight and are asking for £30million for the Nunthorpe native.
