Middlesbrough want at least three new front-men before the summer window shuts this year, Football League World has been told, with enquires being made for Sam Gallagher and Antoine Semenyo.

Boro picked up nicely last season once Chris Wilder had taken over from Neil Warnock, and they looked like genuine playoff contenders.

Indeed, they took the battle for the top six right down to the wire but ultimately fell short, giving Wilder plenty to think about in terms of where he would like to add to his squad this window.

It’s in the attacking third that he sees room for improvement, too, with this site being told he wants to add up to another three attacking players before the deadline later this summer, as Boro bid to challenge for promotion.

Among the names they’re currently looking at are Sam Gallagher and Antoine Semenyo, with Boro making enquiries over the availability of both.

Clearly, Wilder wants to add Championship experience to his front line and good physical attributes, with both strikers possessing such traits.

Wilder will feel he can get a good tune out of them, too, and in the case of Semenyo with his particular potential that could be an exciting signing.
