Boro want McCormack

MIDDLESBROUGH have offered £9million plus striker Kike for Fulham forward Ross McCormack. The 29-year-old has 17 goals this season and Championship promotion-chasers Boro want a player who can help give them an edge in their bid to reach the Premier League. He cost Fulham £11m from Leeds in 2014. Fulham are just four points above the relegation zone and are under a transfer embargo which means they are only able to bring in players on loan. BIRMINGHAM have made a £1.5m offer for midfielder Diego Fabbrini, who is on loan at Middlesbrough from Watford.
