Albert Adomah has handed in a transfer request at Middlesbrough after an alleged bust-up with manager Aitor Karanka, Sky sources understand.

The pair are thought to have clashed in the aftermath of the team's surprise 1-0 Championship defeat to last season's League One winners Bristol City on Saturday.

Adomah, signed from the Ashton Gate side in 2013, came on for the final 28 minutes of the game with his former side at the Riverside Stadium.

When asked on Thursday afternoon if the player will still be there beyond the transfer deadline on Tuesday, Karanka said: "Of course."

Ghanaian international Adomah has made 98 appearances for Middlesbrough since he arrived there, scoring 18 goals.
