FORMER Arsenal and England defender Kieran Gibbs has ‘verbally agreed’ to join David Beckham’s Inter Miami this summer.
The 31-year-old’s contract expires at The Hawthorns in June so he is looking for a new deal elsewhere.
And, according to ESPN, Gibbs is now expected to sign a two-and-a-half year contract with Beckham’s club at the end of the season.
The Baggies have no interest in renewing Gibbs’ deal, whether or not they are relegated from the Premier League.
West Brom are currently 10 points from safety, with Sam Allardyce having struggled to turn results around.
Gibbs has made ten appearances in the Premier League this season, competing with Conor Townsend for the starting berth at left-back.
Townsend, however, was handed a new three-year contract at The Hawthorns last month.
Gibbs joined West Brom for £7million in 2017 from boyhood club Arsenal.

He has made 100 appearances for the Baggies, having previously racked up 229 for the Gunners.
The defender also won 10 England caps, the most recent of which came in 2015.
Meanwhile, Beckham’s Inter Miami have been linked with a number of high-profile players.
One that has been gathering pace this week is Real Madrid left-back Marcelo, but that may not be as logical now Gibbs appears to be joining the club.
