Middlesbrough have been linked with a towering goalkeeper just signed by Ipswich Town
Middlesbrough are reportedly among the clubs consdering a loan move for Ipswich Town goalkeeper Kayne van Oevelen.

Middlesbrough linked with Ipswich Town goalkeeper
According to reporter Alan Nixon via his Patreon page, Ipswich are ready to send the stopper out on loan to get him Premier League-ready.
A clutch of Championship clubs - including Middlesbrough - are thought to be weighing up a swoop for the 6ft 6in goalkeeper. Also said to be considering swoops are Millwall, Wrexham and Bolton Wanderers.
van Oevelen has already had exposure to top-tier football in the Netherlands and would arguably be an exciting signing for the aforementioned Championship clubs.
Middlesbrough have also been linked with Manchester United’s Radek Vitek, who spent last season on loan at Bristol City.
Kayne van Oevelen’s Ipswich Town move
After van Oevelen sealed his move to Ipswich last week, Tractor Boys boss Gary O’Neil said: “We’re pleased to be able to add Kayne to our goalkeeping unit.
“He is a young goalkeeper who has had a good taste of senior football with Volendam and wants to continue to progress his career in England. He joins a good goalkeeping group at the club and will strengthen us in that area of the pitch.”
The goalkeeper himself added; “As soon as I knew Ipswich were interested, it was a move I knew I wanted to make.
“I’m excited to be here and continue my career in England and learn from everyone at a big club like Ipswich. It’s an exciting time for the club, being back in the Premier League, and I’m really looking forward to meeting everyone and getting started.”
