Chelsea recall striker Patrick Bamford from Burnley loan spell as Middlesbrough plot move

Chelsea have recalled striker Patrick Bamford from his loan spell at Burnley.

The 23-year-old failed to start a game for the Clarets, with all six of his appearances this season coming from the bench.

There have been reports that Middlesbrough are keen on signing the former England Under-21 international, who had a spell on loan with the Teesside club in the 2014-2015 season during which time he scored 17 goals.

Bamford has never played for the current Premier League leaders. He has also spent time on loan at MK Dons, Derby, Crystal Palace and Norwich.
