Middlesbrough and Fulham will battle it out for Watford defender Jay DeMerit.
The Cottagers are already set to sign Hameur Bouazza from the Hornets, and could cause Aidy Boothroyd more pre-season problems. American DeMerit is keen to stay in the Premiership and would welcome a move to Craven Cottage.
However, Gareth Southgate has now entered the race. Boothroyd plans to put DeMerit amongst the club’s top earners when contract negotiations start next week. But DeMerit is keen to keep progressing and explained: “In three years I’ve gone from nothing to playing in the Premiership and Copa America. I still have a lot more to do. I’m very happy either way but am considering my options.”
