The striker scored his first senior goal and was later sent off in his next appearance in the competition away at Galatasaray. <\/p>\n<p class=\"ssrcss-1q0x1qg-Paragraph e1jhz7w10\">It would be Middlesbrough&#8217;s fourth signing of the summer after securing Miles Peart-Harris from Oxford on a free transfer, along with Jeremy Sarmiento from Brighton and Kyle Joseph from Hull City.<\/p>\n<p class=\"ssrcss-1q0x1qg-Paragraph e1jhz7w10\">It follows the exit of midfielder Hayden Hackney to Everton for around \u00a316m. Middlesbrough will also receive a sizeable sell-on fee if Chelsea complete the \u00a3117m signing of their former attacker Morgan Rogers. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Middlesbrough have agreed a deal for Tottenham striker Will Lankshear that could rise to a club-record \u00a320m.
