Watford consider move for Ben Gibson?

Watford are lining up a swoop for Burnley centre-back Ben Gibson this month, with the England international out of favour at Turf Moor.

Gibson, 27, has made just six appearances for the Clarets since he arrived for £13m last summer.

According to The Sun, The Hornets will look to offer Gibson first team football by signing him on loan until the end of the season, with an option to make the move permanent in the summer.

The former Middlesbrough defender has already attracted interest from The Boro, with the championship outfit said to be interested in bringing him back to Riverside.

Gibson has made just one appearance in the League Cup this season.
