Saints Favourites To Sign Central Defender

Saints are the bookies favourites to sign Middlesbrough's Ben Gibson according to the bookies, and Leeds will be relieved.

According to various bookies the favourites to sign Ben Gibson are Southampton, of course this is a bit of a fun betting market, but it is influenced by insider sources and sudden surges in money being placed on a potential transfer.

Being a local lad and not to mention the nephew of the Chairman, Gibson remained loyal to Boro after their relegation in 2017, but although he was ever present for the North East side and got them to 5th place in the Championship, they failed in the play off semis and now Gibson feels its time to move on.

Saints are now 2/1 favourites to sign him, most of the other potential suitors both last summer and now this are no better bets for the player than moving to St Mary's and the whisper is that it will be his destination.

Thats good news for Leeds who have been expecting a Saints move for their central defender Pontus Jansson another name linked with a move to Saints in the last two transfer windows, but it seems that Gibson could be our number 1 target.
