Middlesbrough are interested in signing PSG forward, Jese Rodriguez. The Boro manager, Aitor Karanka has confirmed that he is trying to convince Jese to join them.

Talking to the media, Karanka said, "He's a player I have known for the last seven or eight years. I know his potential. I know his character. PSG paid €25m for him. He can bring us a lot of things so we are trying to convince him. The last five or six months have been difficult for him. He couldn't settle in the way he wanted. He knows this step is really important so he has to be sure. I am trying to convince him."
