Middlesbrough are not considering any suggestion that they might sell 21-year-old English striker Will Lankshear in January. TEAMtalk understands this stance is because of the club's focus on its promotion ambitions and its unwillingness to lose the player. This is despite increasing interest from several Premier League clubs, with Brighton, Manchester United, and Everton having monitored the striker. It has been revealed by TEAMtalk that most Premier League clubs have watched him, and Arsenal are also monitoring the situation. His former club, Tottenham, retained a matching-right option and are closely monitoring his development, while the German club Borussia Dortmund have also monitored him. However, there has been no contact with either Middlesbrough or the player concerning a potential transfer. Lankshear has not shown any desire to compel a transfer and is still focused on his form. Sources indicate that he is enjoying his time at the club. Lankshear joined Middlesbrough in July 2026, and his contract is valid until June 2031. The England U21 international has 3 caps and 1 goal, and his current market value is listed by Transfermarkt as €18.00M.
