Fulham are one of a clutch of clubs keen on signing Middlesbrough midfielder Hayden Hackney this summer, according to Sky Sports News.
Sky Sports football correspondent Lyall Thomas says Everton are eyeing the England under-21 international as David Moyes had made the signing of a new defensive midfielder a priority during the close season. Thomas names Fulham alongside Brentford, Crystal Palace and West Ham United as Premier League sides who also hold an interest in the 23 year-old, but Hackney has suitors from overseas as well.
Porto are understood to be preparing another approach having seen a £14m bid rejected by Boro in January, while Stuttgart and Bayer Leverkusen have shortlisted Hackney as a top summer target. The Redcar-raised midfielder, who was part of Lee Carsley’s England under-21 squad that retained the European Championship this summer, has scored ten goals in 113 games since making his Middlesbrough debut in a January 2021 FA Cup third round defeat at Brentford.
The ball-playing midfielder, comfortable either as a holding or conventional member of the engine room, captained Middlesbrough last season and has two more years on his Riverside Stadium contract. The Championship side have previously asked for £20m for their outstanding academy graduate and are braced for further offers after Hackney’s performances in Slovakia this summer. He played in four of the six matches, including the semi-final victory over the Netherlands.
Just another rumour. We wont sign anyone in the immediate future maybe by the end of July Ever hopeful!! Is Cairney not signing on again as all has gone quiet and he is now a free agent
Rate him lot after him can’t see us winning this race. Think we have to find some hidden gems, which we don’t seem as good at as team’s around us
Yes gone very quiet on Cairney . Looked on Wrexham website and there news now. There training in Oz signed couple of player and few more in negotiations there hoping to join them in Oz , no mention of Cairney he’s gone of the radar
Fulham talk a lot but don’t do anything.Plaese sign someone before you lose out .we need new players selling some of the old.
Fake news & clickbait finished off with a big dollop of sensationalism!
Careful Zoe if Darren reads this he will start his alliteration blarney again.
Blarney??? My point was all the bs reports of Fulham signing anyone are just cheap journalism. We ain’t signing anyone till deadline week as usual.
Dont forget we didnt sign smith rowe , sander berge and anderson till august last year
Our recruitment and scouting are simply inadéquate. Inspite of a lot of promises about bringing players in before pre-season, we are the only team in the Premier League to sign no one. Silva must be more than disappointed. .
I would like to know Why we are the only premier team yet to sign anyone we have had since January to look at players we need it’s the same old story every year something has to change or maybe Silva needs to talk to the people in charge of recruitment.
Nothing will change whilst Tonkey is DoF in charge of recruitment, which is only part time job for him.
Marco probably has produced his wish/wanted list, but as we all know, It’s Tonkey’s way or no way, that is the fact of life regarding FFC.
It’s pointless us getting concerned about the situation as our concerns won’t change anything.
The’re only bothered about how much champagne can be sold next season in the Riverside Stand.
