Town are eyeing Middlesbrough’s Emmanuel Latte Lath as they look to add to their strikers before tonight’s 11pm deadline.

The Blues are on the lookout for another frontman following the collapse of the move for Chelsea’s Armando Broja yesterday.

According to the Daily Mail, 25-year-old Latte Lath, who scored 18 goals for Boro last season, is viewed as an alternative to Broja.

We understand there is some interest but that the matter has currently only gone as far as the enquiry stage.

The twice-capped Ivorian international made his first senior appearances for Italian side Atalanta and while with La Dea spent spells on loan at Pescara, Pistoiese, Carrarese, Imolese, Pianese, Pro Patria, SPAL and St Gallen in Switzerland before joining Boro in the summer of 2023 and signing a four-year deal.

The Teessiders are managed by Town boss Kieran McKenna’s close friend and former Manchester United colleague Michael Carrick.

bobble added 12:04 - Aug 30 If I has foolishly signed up to a 4 year deal at Boro I would play for free in Suffolk..

Saxonblue74 added 12:07 - Aug 30 He crossed my mind some time ago, particularly with the Carrick connection. Quality whenever I've watched him.

Blue_In_Boston added 12:08 - Aug 30 Looks a handful on the two or three occasions I have seen him. Repeating what others have said, more appealing than Broja.

Monarch_Blue added 12:09 - Aug 30 From what I understand this deal will only happen if Boro can persuade the Foxes to part with Tom Carroll! Cut out the middle man and get Carroll on board as I reckon he's someone who will slot in to our system perfectly!

PortmanTerrorist added 12:12 - Aug 30 Really rate the lad but would be a change of striker type, from the big hold-up merchants that bring others in like Hirst, Delap and (e.g.) Eduoard. Would normally be worried we are clutching at straws but am confident we don't work that way anyone so am trusting the process regardless of who we bring in.

midastouch added 12:16 - Aug 30 Some nice all-round goals, looks promising.

hyperbrit added 12:25 - Aug 30 sadly based on results Hirst,Broadhead and Burns are sicknotes and may only be used as impact players this season. The injury to Hirst at a critical time last season almost cost us promotion and ,were it not for Moore ,would have. To compare the Premiership of today with when we lasr went up is ludicrous. Look at City now and City then to see the difference.Ready for all the down votes now lol.

victorysquad added 12:29 - Aug 30 This guy is too good for the Championship, sign him up

VanDusen added 12:34 - Aug 30 @Dino F - Yes, I'd be surprised if Middlesbrough wanted to replace a 20 goal minimum striker with a veteran dogged midfielder from MK Dons who could only make the fringes of our League One team... ;o)

Fat_Boy_Tim added 12:36 - Aug 30 Hyperbrit- don’t label people as ‘sicknotes’, that has lots of connotations. It implies that they don’t want to play or are for some reason feigning injury. They want to play and have picked up on or two injuries along the way. Luongo was labelled ‘sicknote’ by ignorant fans before he came to us.

joyousblue added 12:53 - Aug 30 While im happy with the incoming im worried about the outgoing if my maths are correct midday on the last transferday we have a squad of 30 , if we sign a striker that will be 6 i can either see town paying up the contracts of some or loan but right now nothing ,im sure they have this under control if not thats 6 players being paid but unsble to play

cressi added 13:00 - Aug 30 Sick note may be a unfair term But there are players at all clubs who seem unable to play 30 games a season regularly. Injuries can get anyone but we definitely require a striker fit to go Not in seven weeks.

algarvefan added 13:01 - Aug 30 He looks the business as seems to suit our style, I hope we can get this done in time, with George possibly moving the other way.
