Brad Guzan is having a medical at Middlesbrough ahead of his proposed move from Aston Villa, according to Sky sources.

The 31-year-old has been at Villa since 2008 but the USA international has apparently slipped down the pecking order following the signing of Pierluigi Gollini.

Guzan will join Boro for free and is to become the ninth signing of a busy summer for the Premier League new boys.

But he will have to fight hard for first team football at the Riverside because Boro have already signed the experienced former Barcelona goalkeeper Victor Valdes.

However, Guzan remains first-choice goalkeeper for the USA, having helped them reach the Copa America semi-finals earlier this summer, and his imminent arrival gives Boro good depth at the goalkeeping position.
