Boro is getting closer to the signature of former Chelsea star John Obi Mikel.

The Nigerian international midfielder reportedly had agreed medical and personal conditions.

He went to Rockliffe for positive initial discussions last week and came back in order to seal the deal.

There are some adjustments to make before the move can be approved, but Boro hopes it can be concluded quickly.

The 31-year-old midfielder is free after leaving China from Tianjin Teda side by mutual consent earlier this month.
