Championship rivals Burley, along with West Ham and Wolves, showed an interest in Morgan Whittaker's situation over the summer but ultimately opted against making a move for the 25-year-old English winger. Offers from English clubs were reportedly deterred due to lingering concerns about his work rate and a belief that he can be selfish in his play. Whittaker, a former England U20 international, has a contract with Middlesbrough that expires on 30/06/2029. According to Transfermarkt, his current market value is €18.00m.
