Crooks, 30, is set to fly the United States in the coming days to complete the transfer from the English Championship club."Matt is going to travel over to America in the next day or two," Middlesbrough manager Michael Carrick said on Thursday."I think every situation is different, and for this one it's an opportunity for him and his family, one that he wanted to explore."We respected that, and while it's not done at this time we will see how it develops."I think we've got really good options, with Riley (McGree) and Sammy (Silvera) back and Manu (Latte Lath) not too far away. I do feel with the players we've got, we've got a good balance. I've got a lot of faith in the boys, whoever plays."Crooks joined Middlesbrough from Rotherham United in 2021 and has gone on to make 115 appearances, scoring 23 times.
