One of West Brom's out-of-contract stars is being eyed up ahead of the summer transfer window...

What's the word?

According to The Athletic's David Ornstein, Baggies stalwart Kieran Gibbs is attracting interest from David Beckham's Inter Miami side as well as other MLS teams, rivals from the Premier League and clubs in Turkey too.

It's claimed that the Midlands outfit were willing to let the 31-year-old leave the Hawthorns last month as he's among their highest earners and has recently been usurped by Conor Townsend.

But an initial offer from Miami did not suit Albion or Gibbs himself. As he's out of contract at the end of the season, this is something that may well be revisited.

Let him go, let him go

Indeed, West Brom shouldn't think twice about allowing the former Arsenal man leave as he's been a complete waste of money since arriving for £7m under Tony Pulis in 2017.

In that time, he's racked up 100 appearances in a Baggies shirt, but the fact that Townsend, who had never played above League One before joining the Baggies, has taken control at left-back speaks volumes.

Earlier this season, his disappointing time on the pitch was epitomised in a silly sending off against Everton, a game where Albion embarrassingly went onto lose 5-2. The majority of goals came in the second half with ten men.

Then-boss Slaven Bilic slammed him as "stupid" while Danny Mills told Football Insider that it was a "daft decision" and claimed it was "idiotic."

Unfortunately for Gibbs, he's not been in Sam Allardyce's good books either, and that's outside of the obvious point that he's now the back-up option.

The Athletic's Steve Madeley revealed at the start of January that the club were looking to seal an exit for him as an injury withdrawal prior to their game against Leeds 'is understood to have angered Allardyce.'

Not that he's been performing well either. In terms of average WhoScored rating for the season, he ranks 15th, but when factoring in nine or more league starts, that makes him fourth-worst.

With Charlie Austin out on loan, it's thought that Gibbs is Albion's top earner on £55k-per-week as per Spotrac, meaning he has cost the club around a total of £16.9m since arriving from the Gunners when factoring in fees and wages.

That would certainly put him among the most expensive flops the Hawthorns has ever seen, especially when you consider the fact that Oliver Burke cost £15m and Nacer Chadli around £13m too.

The Baggies must let Gibbs loose in the summer, even if they are to lose out on a fee. He simply has no future at the club.
