Middlesbrough boss Neil Warnock admits he hopes to sign Everton winger Yannick Bolasie next month.
Warnock is a big fan of Bolasie, who he worked with at Crystal Palace, and has repeatedly said he wants to sign more wide players at Boro.
He said, "I hope so.
"I've not heard anything at the moment but Steve (Gibson, chairman) knows we need a bit of help in those positions.
“You look at the teams we are playing against and they have good wide players so we need a little bit more help in that respect."
