Karanka open to transfer 'surprises' after strong Middlesbrough start

Middlesbrough made it five points from three games with a draw away to West Brom, but Aitor Karanka still hopes to add to his squad.

Middlesbrough boss Aitor Karanka is open to more signings before the transfer deadline despite his side's strong start to their Premier League campaign.

An uninspiring 0-0 draw away to West Brom on Sunday took Boro to five points from their first three games and secured their first clean sheet of the new season.

Karanka had been left disappointed on Wednesday when his side crashed out of the EFL Cup following a 2-1 defeat after extra time to Fulham at Craven Cottage.
