Central defender Ben Gibson signed for Premier League side Burnley for a joint club record fee of £15 million yesterday from Championship outfit Middlesbrough.
The 25-year-old - capped at all age levels by England up to under-21 - signed a four-year contract after he stayed loyal to Middlesbrough when they were relegated after just one season in the Premier League a year ago.
However, Gibson - nephew of Middlesbrough chairman Steve Gibson - has been persuaded to move with the attraction of a potential Europa League group campaign if Burnley come through the qualifying rounds and Boro having failed to regain their Premier League status.
