Middlesbrough boss Karanka eager to give Tottenham defender Milos Veljkovic his chance

Middlesbrough boss Aitor Karanka is happy working with Tottenham defender Milos Veljkovic.

The highly-rated Serbian Under-21 central defender or holding midfielder, 19, joined the club a fortnight ago, initially until January.

"I hope I can give him a chance soon," Karanka told the Evening Gazette. "Milos is a young lad and he is training very well with us but it is difficult when you arrive in a team where all the players are playing well.

"It is hard to give him an opportunity when that is the case but I told him if he keeps working in the same way the chances will appear for him."
