Hasselbaink to be next Boro arrival

Middlesbrough are today working to thrash out a deal to pair Jimmy Floyd Hasselbaink with latest signing Mark Viduka as the whirlwind of activity on Teesside showed few signs of abating.

The Teessiders, who have unveiled the Australian and Dutch international full-back Michael Reiziger already this week, are tight-lipped as they keep their fingers crossed over Steve McClaren’s latest proposed swoop.
