Middlesbrough are moving for Everton fullback Brendan Galloway.

The People says Boro have made a late bid to gazump Newcastle over Galloway.

The Teessiders have moved in to match the Championship Magpies' offer to take the left-back on loan for the season.

Boss Aitor Karanka is suffering injury problems in defence and has given the youngster the opportunity to increase his Premier League experience.

However, the Toffees are unlikely to sanction a move to another top-flight club.
