But another loan move for the Everton man has now been finalised, with Besic teaming-up with Boro ahead of their visit to West Brom tomorrow evening.
A Middlesbrough club statement read: "Tony Pulis has made no secret of his admiration for the player and is delighted to secure his signature for the duration of the current season.
"The 25-year-old, who had attracted interest from a number of clubs, completed the formalities of his move on Thursday."
