Boro are looking to bolster their defence following the departure of Ben Gibson to Premier League side Burnley this summer.
The news will come as a blow to Leeds, as the Daily Mirror’s live blog (30th August, 03:57), reported yesterday that the Whites and Sheffield Wednesday are looking to sign the 27-year-old on loan.
