Middlesbrough in for Fulham's Bullard

Middlesbrough boss Gareth Southgate is following Fulham midfielder Jimmy Bullard.

The Daily Mail says Southgate is understood to be keen to exploit Bullard’s uncertain contract situation at Craven Cottage and has targeted the Fulham midfielder as a replacement for Gary O’Neil who, despite Middlesbrough’s protestations to the contrary, is expected to rejoin Portsmouth.
