khay 10 Posted January 9, 2008 Share Posted January 9, 2008 Boro make Fred approach Sky Sports News understands Middlesbrough have made an approach for Lyon striker Fred. Boro boss Gareth Southgate is desperate to add firepower to his squad in the January transfer window, with the Premier League strugglers having been linked with a host of strikers. Heerenveen hit-man Afonso Alves has been mooted as a possible target, as has Sheffield United's Rob Hulse, but it is Fred who has shot to the top of Boro's wish-list. Fred is currently persona non grata at the French champions having returned to training late following the winter break and has been told he would be allowed to leave should a suitable offer be forthcoming. West Ham and Tottenham have both been linked with the gifted 24-year-old but it is Middlesbrough who have lodged the first enquiry. Whether Fred would be willing to swap the top of Ligue 1 for a battle to beat the drop in England remains a topic of conjecture. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Offshore Toon 0 Posted January 9, 2008 Share Posted January 9, 2008 That's an ambitious move. I seriously doubt he'll go to Boro, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bawan 0 Posted January 9, 2008 Share Posted January 9, 2008 Tbh Boro are in need of a striker, since the start of the window they have been linked with Afonso Alves, Shola Ameobi and now Fred, they might as well go for Ronaldinho again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
