Middlesbrough's chase for big-money Premier League winger takes fresh twist, Aston Villa set to cool interest in Bournemouth star

Middlesbrough will be looking to return to winning ways this evening, when they take on Nottingham Forest at the City Ground in a 19:00 kick-off.

Boro haven't lost to tonight's opponents in their last three meetings, and will be looking for a repeat performance of their clash last October that saw Neil Warnock's side secure a 1-0 win at the Riverside Stadium.

Meanwhile, behind the scenes, the club continue to chase new signings in the January transfer window, and Warnock has been open over which targets he feels are realistic, and the positions that he's hoping to fill over the next couple of weeks.

As things stand, Boro have the joint-lowest goal-tally in the divison's top eight, and some more fire-power up-front would certainly do the side's promotion ambitions the world of good ahead of the second half of the season.

So far this month, goalkeeper Jordan Archer has been the only signing, joining from Motherwell, while goalkeeper Dejan Stojanovic and striker Rumarn Burrell both left on loan deals, joining German side St Pauli and League Two struggles Bradford City respectively.
