Could Moukoudi fill the Burnley man’s boots at Middlesbrough?
Middlesbrough have identified Harold Moukoudi as the man to fill Ben Gibson’s boots at the Riverside Stadium, according to the Sun.
Boro sold Gibson to Burnley in the regular transfer window, after Moukoudi was also linked with a move to Turf Moor.
Several of Burnley’s Premier League riavls were also credited with interest in the Le Havre centre-back, who the Sun reports had hoped for a transfer to England’s top flight.
But the newspaper claims Moukoudi will ‘drop down a level’ if terms can be agreed.
According to the Sun, the Middlesbrough manager Tony Pulis is trying to tie up a deal for the £10million-rated 20-year-old to arrive in the January transfer window.
And the newspaper adds Le Havre will sell – although it is unclear if a loan deal can be arranged in the meantime, with Boro allowed to make temporary signings up to and including August 31st.
Arsenal are among the clubs previously credited with interest in Moukoudi, who is the latest talent to emerge from the Ligue 2 side’s academy system.
