Middlesbrough Eye Ipswich Town and Leicester City Duo
Middlesbrough are reportedly keen to secure a loan deal for Ipswich Town winger Jack Clarke, just days after he scored a late winning goal against former club Sunderland. The Tractor Boys marked their first game back in the Premier League by inflicting a dramatic defeat on the Europa League-bound Black Cats at Portman Road. Clarke was the match-winner as his late strike ensured the hosts collected all three points against his former employers - the former Sunderland star immediately described his decisive strike as a surreal moment.
What's Next for Mavididi?
Leicester City's Stephy Mavididi has also been named as a possible addition to a Boro squad that will hope to push for promotion into the Premier League once again this summer. The centre-back was snapped up in a deal from Tottenham Hotspur earlier this month and has been working hard on the training ground to reach full fitness.
Hellberg Delivers Update on Phillips
Middlesbrough fans may have to wait to see their latest signing in action after Kim Hellberg gave an update on when Ashley Phillips could make his Boro debut. The centre-back was snapped up in a deal from Tottenham Hotspur earlier this month and has been working hard on the training ground to reach full fitness. However, Hellberg believes Phillips will not feature in the Carabao Cup tie at Doncaster Rovers on Tuesday night and is still ‘a bit away’ from being available.
