Ben Gibson (Middlesbrough)

Gibson has been linked with Southampton recently and seems like a good fit for the team after showing good spells of form for Middlesbrough in the Premier League in 2016/17.

As a left-footed Centre-Back, Gibson could fit in well in the Saints defence. If Mark Hughes persists with the 3-4-2-1 formation that he has been, the 25-year-old would be able to slot in to the centre or left of the back three.

With Middlesbrough failing to gain promotion too, this could be the season where Gibson looks to further his career and move away from the Riverside.

His father is the chairman of the club too though, so any decisions are clearly going to hard ones and he will want to make the right one for himself and the club.
