West Brom have had two bids turned down for Middlesbrough captain Ben Gibson, according to Sky sources.

Sky Sports News understands the first bid was believed to total £15m while the follow up offer was in the region of £20m.

But both bids fell way below Boro's valuation of the defender, who is a member of chairman Steve Gibson's family.

The 24-year-old centre-back is currently recovering in hospital after breaking his nose in a friendly against Rochdale at the weekend.

Gibson signed a new five-year contract last year, where he impressed for the Teesside club despite their struggles and eventual relegation from the Premier League, and was called into the England squad for the first time.

After the season ended in May, the Boro-born academy graduate told Sky Sorts that he had not decided whether or not he wanted to leave Middlesbrough but admitted he wanted to play in the Premier League.
