he is moving for £0.95 million more than he was bought for

He is currently under-going a medical at the Lancashire side, and is talking about his personal terms. The deal is worth £2 million, however with all the add-ons, can go up to £2.25 million. The past few weeks all eyes have been on where the 25 year old striker is going to play football next season. There has been a number of clubs interested in the striker, which includes Derby county, Wolverhampton Wanderers and Bolton, as well as many others.

Bolton looked favourites to get the striker, as he was on loan to them at the end of last season. He played 20 games for them and scored 7 goals. The good amount of goals in the second half of last season, made some clubs have a close look at him. This then attracted the attention of clubs like Burnley, Derby and Wolves, and then they battled it out for his signature.

It was proved to be definite move for him, as he didn't go to Marbella with the rest of the Boro squad as they are having a training camp over there. This made it definite that he didn't fit in manager, Aitor Karanka's, plans for the coming season.

He started his career at Swindon, and he played 42 games for the club, scoring five goals.  Then he moved to Everton, however he only played in one game for the Toffee's. This prompted a move to Coventry City for a undisclosed fee. He signed a three year contract for them in 2010. He then move to Boro for £1.3 million in January 2012. Since then he has played 71 games and scored 15 games.

The £2.25 million will help Boro increase bids for targets Adam Clayton and Jelle Vossen. Boro have been told that Vossen wont come at a low price, but he has said that he wants to move to the Teeside club, and if he is given a contract he will accept it. But we are close to hearing confirmation that Jutkiewicz will move to the Premier League this season.
