After finishing 17th in the Championship last year, Middlesbrough have made a considerable amount of progress this season under the guidance of manager Neil Warnock.
Whilst the play-offs are out of reach, the Smoggies will be aiming to clinch a spot in the top-ten by ending the current campaign on a positive note in the coming weeks.
Given that his side are all-but guaranteed to be in the second-tier next season, it is hardly a surprise that Warnock is already looking ahead to the summer transfer window.
According to The Sun, Middlesbrough are reportedly eyeing up a move for Preston North End striker Ched Evans.
