Milos Veljkovic: The defender featured in Spurs' pre-season games.

Middlesbrough have confirmed the signing of Tottenham Hotspur youngster Milos Veljkovic on a three-month loan deal.

The 19-year-old centre-back made his Spurs debut last season but is yet to feature under Mauricio Pochettino.

Veljkovic, a Serbia Under-21 international, arrived at White Hart Lane from Basel in 2011.

Earlier this week, he told Belgrade daily Telegraf: "Middlesbrough manager Aitor Karanka called me to talk about the possibility. I am happy to get the chance.”

Boro are in fifth place in the Sky Bet Championship, just one point off an automatic promotion spot.
