Premier League quartet Tottenham Hotspur, Everton, Manchester City and Wolverhampton Wanderers reportedly want Middlesbrough’s Dael Fry.
Dael Fry has admitted that he is flattered to be linked with a January move to Premier League clubs Tottenham Hotspur, Everton and Wolves but, speaking to Sky Sports, the defender has admitted that his focus is on Middlesbrough right now.
Fry is living the dream right now. After rising through the ranks at the Riverside, the Boro-born centre-back is now one of the first names on the team sheet. He was even handed the captain’s armband recently by manager and club hero Jonathan Woodgate.
But, according to TEAMtalk, Middlesbrough might be forced to cash in if they receive an offer in excess of £20 million with Spurs, Everton and Wolves interested.
Manchester City, who recently lost John Stones and Nicolas Otamendi to long-term injuries, have been linked too with Pep Guardiola likely to be a big fan of Fry’s composure in possession and his ability to play anywhere across the back four.
“Yeah it is (flattering),” the England U21 international admitted when asked about the ongoing rumours.
“There’s speculation and a lot of top clubs but you’ve just got to put it to one side and keep working hard because if you look at it too much you get a bit distracted, you can lose concentration.
“(But) I’m at Middlesbrough, I’m going to give 110 per cent and if I’m going to play in the Premier League it’s going to be at Middlebrough Football Club.”
Wolves and Everton are crying out for some added depth at the back right now while Tottenham could lose Jan Vertonghen and Toby Alderweireld when their contracts expire at the end of the season.
