Town’s prospects of signing Sam Morsy from Middlesbrough will reportedly depend on the Championship club adding to their midfield options.

According to Teesside Live, Boro are already well-stocked in midfield but manager Neil Warnock will only give the green light to Morsy’s exit if he’s signed a replacement.

Boro are understood to be close to adding James Lea Siliki from Renne on loan with a view to a permanent deal.

Reports in France say that that move is back on after negotiations hit a stumbling block last week.

Town are understood to be targeting manager Paul Cook’s Wigan and Chesterfield captain Morsy, as well as Brighton keeper Christian Walton, ahead of Tuesday’s 11pm transfer deadline.

markchips added 17:37 - Aug 29 Nolan is always injured so not much use to Middlesbrough either. Perhaps town would be wise to start by looking at midfielders who have completed a season of matches without being out with knocks. Whatever criticisms may have been laid at Chambers and Skuse's doors they did play regularly and get over small injuries. A lot of the problems we are having are because players like Edwards for example have barely played enough full games let alone learnt game management.

Oldozblue added 02:46 - Aug 30 Is well known to Cook a recommendation? early days but Evans and Fraser have been put in the "under performing" category by other commentators - same might be said for all the coaching staff he has brought in from previous clubs. Perhaps he missed out on the one he really needed - Richardson. Early days but wonder if we will see the CEO Ashton fist pump walk around the ground again soon?
