Middlesbrough news and transfer rumours: Middlesbrough close in on Nathaniel Mendez-Laing and are linked with late move for Fulham's Neeskens Kebano

Mendez-Laing, who is a free agent after his contract was terminated by Cardiff in September, travelled to Rockliffe on Monday evening to complete his medical and the signing is expected to be announced.

Boro boss Neil Warnock is still keen to bolster his attacking options, and it’s been claimed that Kebano has emerged as a late target.

The 28-year-old has made just five Premier League appearances for Fulham this season and can play in multiple midfield positions.

According to Football Insider, Boro are trying to beat the 11pm transfer deadline to sign the player until the end of the season.

Kebano moved to Craven Cottage in the summer of 2016 and has helped the Cottergers win promotion from the Championship on two occasions.
