MIDDLESBROUGH are making a shock £5million move for Slovan Bratislava striker David Strelec.
Boro are in the market for forwards and Strelec, 23, could be snapped up fast as boss Michael Carrick juggles with his attack.
Middlesbrough may give David Strelec his first taste of English footballGettyPAMiddlesbrough have already spent big on Plymouth’s Morgan Whittaker[/caption]
The player, who has 28 caps for Slovakia, would jump at the move.
He’s now waiting to see if the deal will be finalised.
It comes after Boro paid £6million to land Plymouth attacker Morgan Whittaker on Friday.
The Ivorian star went off with a groin injury in Saturday’s 2-1 defeat at Preston.
So his fitness could complicate any transfer interest in the current window
But it’s understood MLS side Atlanta United offered £18m plus £2m add-on earlier this month.
Boro would love to keep their star forward but also know that splashing out on Whittaker & Co has affected their finances.

Whittaker added: “I want to make it abundantly clear that I never refused to play against Burnley.
“It was agreed by myself and the manager that due to the bids from both Burnley and Middlesbrough I would not be up for selection.
“I was then told to train wit the other non-selected players.”
Whittaker revealed he was distraught at the “backlash” he received following the comments by Wayne Rooney’s successor Muslic.
