Martin Braithwaite is set to join Leganes on loan for the remainder of the season.

Tony Puluis confirmed that the Danish international is in Spain talking to the La Liga club about a move.

It's the same club that tried to sign him in the summer loan window but Boro wouldn't agree to the deal.

However, with Rajiv van La Parra completing his loan move to Middlesbrough, Pulis was prepared to sanction the move.

Speaking in the Pride Park media room, the Boro boss said: “We're doing some business in and outs.

“Braithwaite is talking to Leganes. It's a club that was interested in him in the summer, obviously we didn't want him to go in the summer but he's over there talking to them now and we think that''ll happen, so we'll move on.”

Pulis was asked why he thought Braithwaite, who joined Boro in a £9m move 18 months ago from Toulouse, has struggled to settle.

The 27-year-old moved to Bordeaux on loan last January, shortly after Pulis replaced Garry Monk as manager.

Boro would probably have sold Braithwaite in the summer if they could have signed a replacement or retained Adama Traore's services but the Spaniard joined Wolves in an £18m move.

“I haven't had a lot of time with him,” admitted Pulis. “I had about two or three weeks with Martin before he went last year and four or five months this year so I haven't had a lot of time but good luck to him.

“He wanted to go in the summer, we didn't want him to go, but he's now got his move I think.”

Asked if the move was complete, he added: “They are still talking I believe.”
