Middlesbrough make bid for Lewis Grabban?

Bournemouth have reportedly received a bid from Middlesbrough for striker Lewis Grabban.

Grabban netted a total of 22 goals in 46 appearances for the Cherries in all competitions last season, and his performances have made him one of the hottest properties in the division.

According to Sky Sports News, Middlesbrough are the first team to launch a bid for the 26-year-old, who is said to have a release clause in his contract.

However, the offer from Bournemouth is likely to result in other clubs following suit, with Crystal Palace and Brighton & Hove Albion reported to be keeping an eye on the situation.
