The deal is done: Matt Targett is now a Middlesbrough player after completing a switch from Newcastle. The defender signs after the two clubs reached an agreement and the player completed a medical. The player is set to meet his new teammates and embark on a new chapter in his career. No other teams were seriously connected with the player, leaving Middlesbrough free to complete the transfer at their own pace. Middlesbrough's back line has been a real strength this season, conceding just 0.62 goals per game (5 in 8). Matt Targett would be expected to slot into that unit and hold his own in an already solid setup. Newcastle have also been linked with Aaron Ramsdale, Axel Disasi and Alexander Sorloth while Middlesbrough are reportedly monitoring Adilson Malanda. Looking for Middlesbrough transfer rumours?
