Middlesbrough head coach Rob Edwards says the club is in a "win-win" situation over the future of Hayden Hackney.

Boro have accepted an offer from Ipswich Town - believed to be around £20m- for the England Under-21 midfielder.

Hayden has come through the ranks at the Riverside and made over 100 appearances for the club, yet Edwards is open-minded as to how things will pan out with the 23-year-old.

"The ball is in H's court," Edwards told BBC Radio Tees. "That's where we stand.

"It's a win-win and people can be calm about the whole situation.
