Britt Assombalonga: Middlesbrough boss Neil Warnock relaxed over striker's contract future

Middlesbrough boss Neil Warnock says he is relaxed about his players who are soon to be out of contract, including striker Britt Assombalonga.

Assombalonga cost a club record £15m from Forest in July 2017, and since scored 47 goals in 152 games.

"We don't worry about that [the contract] here," said Warnock.

"There are a lot of players out of contract. What will be, will be, we'll worry about that when we have to."

The DR Congo international has consistently managed double-figure seasons in the English Football League since being handed his chance to impress at Southend, following that record at Peterborough, Forest and Boro.
