Middlesbrough are one of several clubs interested in signing 22-year-old Jordan James from his parent club, Rennes. There is significant interest in him from the Championship. The Wales international has 26 caps and one goal for his country and is prepared to move to the second tier. He is also a target for West Ham United, Wolves, and Burnley. Rennes intends to sell the midfielder permanently this summer rather than loan him out again, and the club is seeking a fee of £10 million. James's contract with the French club runs until 2028, and his current market value is €12.00m, according to Transfermarkt.
