Middlesbrough are dismissive of any suggestion they would sell 21-year-old English centre-forward Will Lankshear in January, as the club is focused on its promotion ambitions and is not inclined to lose the player. Despite the club's stance, the striker has attracted attention, with Borussia Dortmund having monitored him. There is also growing interest from Premier League clubs, including Arsenal, Manchester United, Brighton, and Everton, while his former club Tottenham are monitoring his development and retained a matching-right option. However, there has been no contact with either Middlesbrough or the player regarding a potential move. Lankshear is showing no desire to force a transfer soon and remains focused on his current form, reportedly being pleased with his career's progression at the club. Lankshear, who joined Middlesbrough in July 2026, is under contract until 2031. The England U21 international has 3 caps and 1 goal and a current market value of €18.00M according to Transfermarkt.
