🚨 Middlesbrough make late move for Liam Millar as Boro enter deadline-day transfer race
Middlesbrough have emerged as serious contenders for Hull City winger Liam Millar as the transfer window enters its final stages, with Boro reportedly making contact over a potential deal.
The Canada international has become one of the names attracting significant attention ahead of the deadline, with Middlesbrough and Birmingham City both understood to have shown interest in the 26-year-old. Stoke City have also been linked with Millar as clubs look to complete their final pieces of business.
For Middlesbrough, the interest comes at a time when the club are still looking at their options despite already completing a busy summer of recruitment. Boro have added 10 new players during the window, but reports indicate that another addition has not been ruled out before the deadline.
Millar would represent an exciting option for Middlesbrough because of his ability to operate in attacking areas and provide additional pace and creativity. The winger has experience of English football and has previously played in the Championship, meaning he would not need a lengthy adaptation period if a move to the Riverside was completed.
However, Middlesbrough would face competition for his signature.
Reports have indicated that Birmingham and Stoke are also monitoring the situation, while Hull’s own plans could have an important influence on what happens next. Millar has recently been the subject of transfer speculation, with Hull reportedly considering moves of their own.
Interestingly, Millar has started the new Premier League campaign strongly for Hull. He scored the winning goal in Hull’s 1-0 victory over Coventry City on August 29, producing a late finish that secured another impressive result for the newly promoted side.
That performance could make negotiations even more complicated.
Hull have made an excellent start to life back in the Premier League, and losing an attacking player who has already demonstrated his ability to make an impact could be a difficult decision.
For Middlesbrough supporters, however, the possibility of Millar arriving would certainly add excitement to the final hours of the window.
The latest reports suggest that Boro have made contact with Hull, meaning this is a situation worth watching closely as the deadline approaches.
At this stage, there is no confirmation that Middlesbrough have agreed a fee or personal terms with Millar, so supporters will have to wait for further developments before treating the move as imminent.
But with Middlesbrough looking at one more potential addition and Millar attracting Championship interest, the winger could become one of the biggest stories surrounding Boro before the transfer window closes.
The clock is ticking, and Middlesbrough appear to be in the race.
Could Liam Millar be the final piece of Middlesbrough’s transfer puzzle?
