Boro boss Neil Warnock has taken the club from a relegation team to sixth in the championship without having to spend millions, most of Warnocks transfers have been out of contract players.

Duncan Watmore is set to sign a short-term Middlesbrough contract - possibly today - following a successful trial period.

Boro are looking to push through a deal until January after Robbie Fowler’s East Bengal opened talks with the free-agent forward.

Boro boss Neil Warnock is keen not to lose out on someone he’s had training with his team for a few weeks to improve his fitness, during which time Watmore had impressed Warnock.

The 26-year-old was looking for a new club after his Sunderland contract expired in the summer on the back of two serious knee injuries.

Warnock missed out on Everton’s Yannick Bolasie and West Brom’s Kenneth Zohore and has suffered injury to key striker Ashley Fletcher.
