Sporting Life:

Middlesbrough have been linked with a move for teenage Serbian striker Rajko Purovic. The 18-year-old's representatives claim talks are to take place between his current club, FK Banat Zrenjanin and the Teessiders over a possible move. Boro have worked hard to build up their European scouting network in recent years and have fostered links in Serbia. Boro's interest in the player emerged as they begin to reshape their squad for life in the Coca-Cola Championship.

Quote from FK Banat Zrenjanin:

"Nismo iznenađeni pozivom, jer smo već tokom dana dobili faks iz Engleske sa sličnim pitanjem, ali igrač sa takvim imenom nikada nije igrao za Banat", rečeno nam je u zrenjaninskom klubu.

Which translated is:

'We are not suprised by that call, because we've already recieved a fax from England with similar question, but a player with such a name has never played for our club'
