England international Luke Young's proposed transfer from Charlton Athletic to Middlesbrough has moved a step nearer after the right-back passed a medical at the Riverside Stadium.

The two clubs agreed a transfer fee of £2.5million for the 28-year-old at the weekend.

"Luke has been through all the medicals, that was fine, it's really just a case of getting all the forms through from Charlton and were pretty much there," Boro boss Gareth Southgate told the club's official website.

"We're delighted with that one, but until it's all signed I don't want to say anything further."
