​Middlesbrough’s planned £5 million signing of Hull City forward Kyle Joseph had stalled last week, but the deal is once again progressing as paperwork is being finalised. The 24-year-old is expected to join his new teammates at their training camp in Portugal later this week, with a move that would add depth and attacking versatility to Boro’s squad ahead of the new campaign, as reported by the Mail. The latest developments suggest that Joseph will soon be officially a Middlesbrough player, and clubs around the league will be watching closely as this transfer moves toward completion.
In other Premier League transfer chatter, Wolves are said to have identified Aston Villa attacker Lewis Dobbin, 23, as a potential summer target. The promising forward, who spent time on loan at Preston, has attracted interest from several sides, including Middlesbrough and Southampton, according to the Lancashire Post. The report highlights Dobbin’s pace, work rate, and goal-threat as attributes that could fit well with teams looking to bolster their attacking options ahead of next season. As the offseason continues, bookmakers and pundits will likely scrutinise whether this interest translates into concrete talks or bids, and how Villa or other clubs might price the deal or place alternative targets on their lists.
