Kim Hellberg’s side, which did not gain promotion to the Premier League through the play-offs, is now facing serious competition from Norwich for one of their summer transfer targets.

Sources have told Football Insider that Middlesbrough are planning to sign Huddersfield Town teenager Jay Smith-Sway. The club is considering signing the 19-year-old and then loaning him out to accelerate his development. There is a feeling that he could be available this summer as he has just one year remaining on his deal, and potential suitors are being encouraged to increase their interest. Smith-Sway could yet sign a new deal at Huddersfield, but Middlesbrough hope to act quickly to persuade him to join the club.

Middlesbrough are considering a move for Huddersfield Town's highly-regarded 19-year-old, Jay Smith-Sway. The teenager is approaching the last year of his contract and has not yet been presented with a new offer, a situation that has resulted in interest from Middlesbrough and several other clubs.
