Premiership: Izzet out of frying pan, into fire

Turkish midfielder Muzzy Izzet is set to swap one relegation battle for another if, as expected, he completes a £6m (€9.8m) move from Leicester to Middlesbrough later this week.

The highly-rated 27-year-old will meet with Boro boss Steve McClaren once the pair have returned from international duty with their respective countries.
