BORO have, understandably, been linked with a number of strikers ahead of the January transfer window after their dismal start to the season and whilst, today, Gareth Southgate has denied reports linking BORO with Sheffield United and Championship top scorer James Beattie, fresh reports are emerging that BORO are making a move for a striker that they know all too well.
Nicolae Dica is Steaua Bucharest's Romanian striker who BORO came face to face with in their amazing run up to the UEFA Cup final. Dica agonisingly scored twice against BORO, with a goal in each leg of the semi-finals.
Gareth Southgate was in BORO's back line on the night that Dica sank BORO hearts when he scored in the second leg, before BORO, and most memorably, Massimo Maccarone mounted a monumental comeback to mark their place in the final.
Dica has impressed for both club and country, of late, and has attracted attention from many clubs, most notably of those being Premiership rivals Aston Villa.
BORO are reportedly close to sealing a deal for Dica worth €5 million, with Steaua president Valeriu Argaseala, who is looking to make some money out of Dica whose contract will expire at the end of the season.
