It'll soon be the summer, which means it'll soon be the time for transfer tittle-tattle.

The joys!

And with the transfer window edging closer, rumours are beginning to swirl, including a bit of Boro related talk doing the rounds today.

According to reports, Boro are monitoring an MLS striker and keeping an eye on the situation of a Championship goalkeeper.

'In-demand MLS striker interests Boro'

Boro are the latest club said to be keeping a close eye on Orlando City's striker Cyle Larin.

The 22-year-old, a Canadian international, has scored six in his last six in the MLS, with his form prompting talk over the pond that Everton were lining him up as a potential summer replacement for Romelu Lukaku.

But reports say Larin, a teammate of Seb Hines, has also caught Boro's eye, with Clubcall claiming the Teessiders are considering a summer swoop.

The striker, who hit 10 goals in 25 games last term, has also been linked with moves to Belgium, Turkey, France and Portugal and has admitted it's his "dream" to play in Europe.

“I've always wanted to play in Europe. Either it's now or it's later,” said Larin at the start of the season.

"One day I'll be there. I have dreams to play there."

He has the backing of a superstar as well.

"I think Cyle can go far," Kaka is reported as saying of the striker back at the start of the current MLS campaign.

“Cyle is a very good player and the third season for us will be great, but I think Cyle can play in a big team in Europe as well."

'Championship keeper interests Boro'

Brighton keeper David Stockdale was named in the Championship's Team of the Year after playing a pivotal role in helping the Seagulls win promotion this season.

But the 31-year-old is out of contract this summer and is yet to sign a new deal, prompting the Mirror to claim Leeds United are keen and the keeper's potential availability has also "alerted Middlesbrough and several Premier League clubs".

Stockdale was said be interesting Chelsea in January as the Blues chased a second choice stopper, and according to reports the keeper could again be an option for Antonio Conte.

However, the Mail claim s the keeper is expected to sign a contract extension with Brighton ahead of their first season in the Premier League.

'Boro scouts watch Dutch full-back'

Finally, reports in Holland claim Boro are one of a number of clubs whose scouts have watched FC Utrecht right-back Giovanni Troupee.

Boro, Bournemouth, Eintracht Frankfurt and Celtic are all said to have watched the 19-year-old defender, who is said to be contracted to the club until 2019.
