Boro have been described as ‘frontrunners’ for the 20-year-old’s signature.

The Standard report: “The youngster has instead been impressing for the club’s under-23 side, but he is expected to go out on loan when the January transfer window opens.

“Several Championship clubs are keen on loaning Balogun for six months, with Middlesbrough pushing hard.”
