Burnley Football Club is delighted to announce the signing of defender Ben Gibson from Middlesbrough. Gibson has agreed a four-year-deal at Turf Moor after Burnley paid a joint club record fee for the centre-back, who becomes Burnley’s first signing of the summer transfer window. The deal sees Gibson, 25, return to the Premier League after playing the 2016/17 season in the top-flight with Middlesbrough. The previous season, the former England under-21 international had helped Boro win promotion from the Championship behind title-winners Burnley.
