19-year-old defensive midfielder on trial with the Championship club
Nigerian teenager Aderemi Adeoye is closing in on a move to Middlesbrough after impressing on trial with the Championship side.
The 19-year-old defensive midfielder was a standout for Ikorodu City last season, helping the Lagos club to a fourth-place finish in the NPFL.
