Middlesbrough are interested in Sheffield Wednesday's Lee Gregory after the Owls missed out on promotion from League One... with Derby and Wigan also keen on the striker

Middlesbrough are showing an interest in Sheffield Wednesday striker Lee Gregory.

The 33-year old narrowly missed out on promotion from League One last week after Wednesday were beaten by Sunderland in the play-offs.

The former electrician, who used to play in the same Halifax side as Leicester's Jamie Vardy, still managed to turn in some lively performances during the campaign and ended the season with 17 goals in 39 games.

Gregory has one year left on contract so Wednesday are not expected to ask for a large fee.
