Ben Gibson was signed by Burnley from Middlesbrough for a club record 15 million Euros. It felt like a very strange acquisition as Burnley already had a settled back line of Ben Mee and James Tarkowski. The center back has very high potential and he was also tipped for an England call up, but his time here at Burnley might have changed all that.

Gibson has started just one Premier League game against Everton at home, which the Clarets lost 5-1. His other start came away to Manchester City in the FA Cup and in that match as well, Burnley shipped 5 goals. The young Englishman's time at Burnley has been nothing short of a disaster and right now his decision to leave his hometown club looks like a bad one.

In terms of stats in the Premier League this season, Gibson has started just 1 game and he has spent the rest of the time on the bench.
