Report: Norwich City, Bournemouth chase winger Lee Tomlin

Lee Tomlin to force Middlesbrough exit?

Middlesbrough are reportedly facing a fight to keep midfielder Lee Tomlin, who is keen to move to the Premier League.

The 26-year-old scored 12 times in 49 games last season as the North East side made it to the playoff final, where they lost to Norwich City.

The Mirror claims that Norwich, as well as Bournemouth, have made enquiries for the winger, who could cost around £3m.

Tomlin has been training on his own in pre-season after making it clear to boss Aitor Karanka that he wants to leave, and didn't take part in their pre-season win over Getafe yesterday.

Middlesbrough open their Championship campaign against Preston North End on Sunday.
