McEachran Loan Deal

Championship side Middlesbrough are reportedly closing in on a loan deal for Josh McEachran. The not-so-trustworthy Daily Mail originally ran the story and ITV followed suit a few hours ago.

I am in no position to judge the credibility of these reports but the deal would seemingly make sense for both parties. A young player like Josh who has shown potential at both youth and professional levels would dearly benefit from regular playing time. Josh's struggles on loan to Swansea last year would indicate that a championship side would make the most sense and Middlesbrough are in need of both creativity and another central midfielder, having lost Malaury Martin and Barry Robson.

This will be an intriguing story to follow, and in the interest of Josh's continuing improvements I hope it goes through.
