Middlesbrough transfer rumours: Boro could snap up ex-England U21 international

Middlesbrough will be eager to hit the ground running and put some wins together following the international break, as they look to claw their way towards the play-offs and bridge the six-point gap currently lying between them and sixth place.

Neil Warnock' s side are back in action on Good Friday, with a mid-afternoon clash away to fellow play-off chasers Bournemouth at the Vitality Stadium.

With clashes against high-flyers Watford and Barnsley to follow, Boro will be well aware that some positive results would go a long way in boosting their push for promotion.

Meanwhile, last week, Warnock picked up a £7,000 fine for "multiple breaches" of FA Rule E3 following his side's loss to Swansea City earlier in the month.

The FA's statement on the issue read:

“The manager admitted that comments he made during post-match interviews constituted improper conduct in that they question the integrity of the match official, implied bias, were personally offensive and bring the game into disrepute contrary to FA Rule E3.1.

“An independent Regulatory Commission was subsequently convened and imposed an appropriate sanction.”
