Chelsea manager Antonio Conte is weighing up a move for Middlesbrough defender Ben Gibson as John Terry’s replacement, according to The Daily Mail.
Terry, 35, was handed a new one-year deal in the summer that is due to expire at the end of the season and Conte is keen to replace his captain with another English defender.
As a result, Conte has received glowing feedback from his scouts about Middlesbrough defender Gibson, as well as Burnley and former Manchester United centre back Michael Keane.
In the last three campaigns only Daniel Ayala (237) has made more clearances for Boro than Gibson (196).
