Overview
- Will Lankshear has scored 13 goals in 13 Championship appearances and 15 in 16 games in all competitions since joining Middlesbrough from Tottenham.
- Premier League clubs including Newcastle are reported to be monitoring Lankshear and had planned to send scouts to a recent midweek match he missed through injury.
- Sources tell media outlets that Middlesbrough value Lankshear at about £30million and have him on a long-term deal running to 2031, making a midseason sale unlikely.
- A recent injury kept Lankshear out of the match scouts intended to watch and cost him a place in England’s final squad, which reduces the chance of immediate transfer activity.
- If Middlesbrough fail to win promotion the club expects it will be hard to keep Lankshear beyond next summer and his price is likely to rise further before any potential move.
