Middlesbrough are closing in on a £3million deal to sign Hull City defender Alfie Jones, despite interest from Wrexham.
The 27-year-old centre-back is expected to leave the MKM Stadium this summer as Hull prepare for a new era under Sergej Jakirovic.
Jones has made over 190 appearances for the Tigers since arriving from Southampton in 2020.
His experience and versatility – with the ability to play both in defence and midfield – make him a valuable target for Boro boss Rob Edwards, who is keen to bolster his backline.
According to HullLive, Jones is edging closer to a move to the Riverside Stadium.
Wrexham have also been linked, but may now need to explore alternative defensive options as Middlesbrough move ahead in the race.
