Middlesbrough have a deal in place for Valencia striker Alvaro Negredo.
The Mirror says Boro have reached an agreement to take Negredo to the Riverside.
The former Manchester City striker is set to arrive on an initial loan deal from Valencia.
He is set to arrive in the next 48 hours with the switch subject to a medical.
He scored 23 goals in 48 games in his one season at City before being squeezed out when UEFA Financial Fair Play rules forced them to trim their squad.
