Fulham goalkeeper Marcus Bettinelli is set to join Middlesbrough.

The Sun says the 28-year-old passed a medical this week and will now spend the season on-loan at The Riverside.

And his arrival solves a major dilemma for the Boro boss, who wanted more experience between the sticks.

Bettinelli, who received an England call-up two years ago, has played more than 100 games for Fulham since coming through their academy.

But after falling out of favour with Scott Parker last term, the keeper is heading north for regular Championship action following the Cottagers' Premier League promotion.
