Middlesbrough have been linked with Tottenham Hotspur attacking midfielder Alfie Devine, who was on loan at Preston North End for the 2025/26 campaign. It is said that other Championship sides want to intervene in the potential deal.

A report from the Lancashire Post states that Preston has an option to sign Tottenham's Alfie Devine for a club-record £4.5 million. The 21-year-old would still need to agree to the transfer.
