Town are being linked with a move for Everton central defender Lewis Gibson.
The 20-year-old was a player on the Blues’ list of potential defensive loan targets in January 2020 when they ultimately signed Josh Earl from Preston.
Now, according to the EADT, Durham-born Gibson is on Paul Cook’s radar as he continues his summer squad rebuild, either on a permanent or loan basis. Gibson has a year left on his deal at Goodison Park.
Gibson was with Newcastle’s academy before moving on to Everton’s youth set-up in 2017.
The 6ft 1in tall centre-half spent time on loan at Fleetwood in the second half of 2019/20 and last season with Reading, where he made seven starts and six sub appearances.
