Middlesbrough closing in on Fabio

Last updated : 09 August 2016 By Michael Morris

Reports from the North East say Middlesbrough are attempting to finalise the deal to take Fabio Da Silva to The Riverside Stadium ahead of the opening Premier League fixture against Stoke on Saturday.

Fabio was left out of Cardiff's squad at Birmingham with Paul Trollope admitting it was because of transfer interest.

He would be Middlesbrough's 10th signing of the summer.
