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.

hyperbrit added 13:04 - Aug 30 good point Fat- Boy - Tim.I was using the term because other fans have used it and shouldn't have. Their courage and dedication is a matter of record,but the injuries so early on in the season ,even in friendlies ,must be addressed imo

Lukeybluey added 13:25 - Aug 30 Thought he was quality when we played them last season. Got quite a leap for someone who looked relatively short...

KnoxvilleBlue82 added 13:29 - Aug 30 He is a very exciting prospect but someone with more top flight experience would be preferable. However that might be difficult to do because of being priced out and adhering to FFP.

IndianaBlue added 14:37 - Aug 30 Sky are reporting that with his injury he could be out for 12 weeks. If that is the case, surely it makes sense to put this off until January window and look for someone else who is available now.
