Premiership: McLaren sets sights on Benito Carbone

Middlesbrough manager Steve McLaren has set his sights on signing Bradford’s Benito Carbone after failing to land Dwight Yorke and Diego Forlan in recent weeks.

Carbone recently returned to Valley Parade after a three-month loan spell at Derby.

McLaren has reportedly inquired about the possibility of taking the striker on loan for the rest of this season in an effort to avoid relegation from the Premiership.
