Martin Braithwaite could reportedly leave Boro in January with a move to Championship rivals Swansea City on the cards.
The future of Martin Braithwaite at Middlesbrough has been up in the air for the last few months.
According to the BBC, the Denmark international handed in a transfer request in August before being denied the chance to leave the Riverside at the end of the summer window.
And Braithwaite is once again being tipped to leave with January on the horizon with the Northern Echo claiming that the future of the former Toulouse forward, and fellow striker Britt Assombalonga, could lie away from the North East.
But where will Braithwaite end up?
Well, according to the Sun (18 December, page 59), Swansea City would jump at the chance to take the 27-year-old to South Wales in the New Year.
It is understood that manager Graham Potter wants to bring a new striker to the Liberty Stadium though any move for Braithwaite would not be cheap. The 28-time international is earning a hefty £55,000 a week at Boro, and Tony Pulis’s side would want Swansea to pay all his wages if he leaves on loan.
Middlesbrough paid £9 million to sign Braithwaite in the summer of 2017 but he has been largely disappointing in the Championship, scoring ten goals in 36 games while spending the second half of last season on loan at Bordeaux.
