Boro set to sign defender
Middlesbrough are expecting to clinch the signing of Doncaster Rovers defender George Friend by the weekend.
The 24-year-old was due at the Riverside for a medical this afternoon and should complete a switch to Teesside.
Boro had been leading the chase for his services over the summer but appeared threatened when Championship rivals Ipswich Town came in with a late bid in midweek.
Nottingham Forest were another club understood to be interested but Boro continue to be favourites to sign him for a fee of around £250,000.
