Middlesbrough are in the final stages of a deal to sign Sebastian Berhalter from Vancouver Whitecaps. Berhalter was absent on Thursday morning as the Whitecaps resumed their MLS campaign, as negotiations with Middlesbrough had reached an advanced stage. It is understood that Sebastian Berhalter has agreed to the move, having rejected offers from a number of large clubs across Europe to make the move to the Championship. The club’s project to get to the Premier League under Kim Hellberg persuaded him to make the move.
