Nottingham Forest-linked Alex Gilbert looks set to seal a move to Championship side Middlesbrough.
The Reds were said to be keen on the Brentford youngster, who captained the Bees’ B team last season and was named their player of the year. Wolverhampton Wanderers were also credited with an interest in the forward, while teams abroad were apparently eyeing him up, too.
However, our colleagues at TeessideLive report Boro are close to agreeing a deal for the 21-year-old. It seems he has opted for a switch to the Riverside Stadium - despite both Forest and Wolves being closer to his native Midlands home - as it is seen as holding a greater chance of quickly securing first-team football.
