Middlesbrough plans to sign Villa winger, seeks Iheanacho loan

Middlesbrough is making significant moves in the transfer market, with a loan deal for Aston Villa winger Samuel Iling-Junior expected to be finalized soon. The 21-year-old, who has had a limited impact during his loan at Bologna, will bolster Boro's attacking options alongside potential new signing Kelechi Iheanacho from Sevilla. Iheanacho, who has struggled for game time in Spain, is reportedly in talks with Middlesbrough despite interest from Celtic. Additionally, Boro is preparing for the departure of Emmanuel Latte Lath to Atlanta United and is seeking replacements, including a focus on securing a new centre-forward. Meanwhile, there are ongoing inquiries regarding Anfernee Dijksteel's future with the club, as several teams, including Millwall, are interested in him. The club aims to wrap up its transfer dealings before their upcoming match against Sunderland.
