Middlesbrough interested in signing striker with 53 PL goals to his name

Middlesbrough are looking for a new signing to lead the line for the upcoming campaign and are targeting a move for Fenerbahce striker Josh King, journalist Koray Güçlü claims.

Middlesbrough may be following the transfer strategy of signing younger players to help the club longer term, but finding the balance of youth and experience will be imperative to helping their chances of getting out of the division and earning promotion to the top flight.

With their only striker options being Josh Coburn, Alex Gilbert and Morgan Rogers, Boro are seriously lacking in firepower and experience in forward areas and will be hoping to address this in the transfer window.

One player who they have reportedly identified as a potential target is former Everton and Watford striker Josh King, who is currently plying his trade in Turkey with Fenerbahce. 24 Saat Futbol journalist Güçlü claims that Boro ‘want to hire’ the 31-year-old this summer.
