Last night saw Middlesbrough FC make a massive splash in the January transfer window after agreeing a £9m move for Blackburn goal-getter Jordan Rhodes.

The 25-year-old, who has scored 20 goals or more in every season since 2009 , could complete his move to the Riverside today - and then join up with his new Boro teammates on Sunday.

UPDATE: Boro pull plug on Jordan Rhodes deal

That story dominates much of the national media outlets today - but with the transfer window closing on Monday night, there's plenty more speculation around.

Could Boro go for another big-name in the Championship before 11pm on Monday evening? Here's today's transfer paper talk.

Jordan Rhodes set for Boro medical ahead of £9m move

As revealed by The Gazette last night, Boro have agreed a £9m fee with Blackburn Rovers for prolific Championship striker Jordan Rhodes.

The Scottish international forward is due on Teesside this morning and should undergo a medical, before the rest of the deal's formalities are completed.

Should everything go smoothly, Rhodes - the nephew of Boro assistant head coach Steve Agnew - could be a Middlesbrough player later today, and may join up with his new teammates for training on Sunday.

Rhodes has long been courted by Boro and was Karanka’s top target in the summer, but the sides could not agree on a valuation.

But Boro have never dropped their interest in the prolific hitman, and renewed contact with their first choice striking target as soon as the January transfer window opened .

The forward could make his Boro debut next Saturday against former club Blackburn at the Riverside.

Alex Pritchard 'to choose between Boro and Burnley'

Talented Tottenham youngster Alex Pritchard was arguably the standout player in the Championship last season as he inspired Brentford to a shock fifth-placed finish and the play-offs.

It was to end in disappointment for Pritchard and the Bees, however, as they were beaten by Boro in the two-legged semi-final.

Pritchard returned to White Hart Lane in the summer hoping to stake his claim for a Premier League place - but a serious ankle injury picked up while on England Under-21s duty at the European Championships saw him miss the start of the campaign.

A couple of complications have kept the midfield maestro on the sidelines, but now approaching full fitness, it was thought that Spurs chief Mauricio Pochettino would keep his young starlet in North London.

However, reports last night claimed that Spurs will allow Pritchard, 22, to leave on loan this month - with Boro, Burnley and Brighton all agreeing terms.

It will now be left to the player to choose where he wishes to move, according to the Mirror. That decision will be made on Monday.

The Gazette understands Boro have been monitoring Pritchard since the end of last season - and will now wait on the player's preference ahead of Monday's transfer deadline.

QPR midfielder heading for The Hawthorns

Queens Park Rangers midfielder Sandro looks set to follow Charlie Austin out of the Loftus Road exit door today as he closes in on a loan move to Premier League side West Brom.

The Brazilian - who played against Boro at the Riverside this season - looks set to join up with Tony Pulis' Baggies before Monday's transfer deadline.

It will come as a bitter blow to Jimmy Floyd Hasselbaink, who has only won one game in his first 11 in charge at the Rs since swapping Burton Albion for west London.
