A number of West Bromwich Albion fans have welcomed the report claiming Kieran Gibbs has verbally agreed to join Inter Miami in the summer.

The 31-year-old has been with the Baggies since 2017, when he joined from Arsenal in a reported £7million deal.

Gibbs has made 100 appearances for West Brom, but just 11 this season, 10 of which have been in the Premier League.

Indeed, the left-back has not been named in a matchday squad since the clash with Sheffield United at the start of February.

According to ESPN, Gibbs has verbally agreed to join Inter Miami – David Beckham’s Major League Soccer franchise – at the end of the season.

He is expected to sign a two-and-a-half year deal and will move to the United States once his contract expires at Albion this summer, added the report.

With Conor Townsend currently Sam Allardyce’s first-choice left-back, there’s a good chance Gibbs may have played his final game with West Brom.

And it looks as though quite a few Albion fans are happy with the report, some even hoping he could leave sooner.

Here is some of the social media reaction about the £70,000-a-week defender:
