Kluivert rejects Middlesbrough

Holland striker Patrick Kluivert has ruled out a move to Middlesbrough.

Boro travelled to Barcelona last week to register their interest in Kluivert, and have also targeted Mark Viduka of Leeds and Portsmouth’s Aiyegbeni Yakubu,

However, Kluivert said: “I have no intention of going to Middlesbrough. I will not consider a move to a small club. I would like to go to one of the big London teams. If that doesn’t happen I will stay at Barcelona for the final year of my contract.”
