New Middlesbrough boss Chris Wilder is eyeing Arsenal striker Folarin Balogun.

The Sun says Boro need more firepower and Wilder has been told he will get funds to land players in the new year market.

The Gunners are yet to decide what to do with Balogun in the second half of the season but if he goes out on loan there will be a sizeable queue.

Wilder was named Boro boss last week, after eight months out of a job.

The 54-year-old achieved promotion with Sheffield United in 2019 and hopes to do it again with Middlesbrough.
