Middlesbrough head coach Aitor Karanka is closing in on his first summer signing as he prepares for life in the Premier League.
Ajax winger Viktor Fischer is reportedly due on Teesside to undergo a medical and discuss personal terms, with the two clubs having reached agreement on a fee of around £3.8m.
Sources close to the 21-year-old are said to have indicated there is a four-year deal on the table for the Denmark international, who made 34 appearances for the Dutch club last season.
Karanka has wasted little time in starting to re-shape his squad in the wake of promotion having released veteran Jonathan Woodgate and fellow defender Damia Abella at the end of their contracts on Tuesday.
It had already been confirmed that injury-plagued utility man Rhys Williams would be heading back to his native Australia to join Perth Glory.
