BORO Call on Goran

BORO have made a secret move, behind the cover of the Afonso Alves deal, for Inter Milan's 18-year-old Macedonian striker Goran Slavkovski.

Sky Sports have, tonight, reported that BORO have agreed a deal and all paper work is complete to bring Goran to the Riverside on loan until the end of the season.

Goran is understood to have undergone a medical with BORO today ahead of his move to The Riverside. It is also reported that the player has rejected offers from elsewhere in order to gain first team experience with BORO, as Gareth Southgate looks to add to his attacking options with the imminent arrival of Afonso Alves beginning to excite fans.

Goran is understandably a 'back-up player' at Milan and has stressed that "Middlesbrough are a perfect club," for him to gain some valuable first team experience.

Goran has apparently been likened to Swedish international Zlatan Ibrahimovic and if his scoring ability is anything close to that of the big Swede then, along with Afonso Alves, BORO's goal drought could look set to be well and truly over.
