Middlesbrough have finally tied up a loan deal for Chelsea hotshot Patrick Bamford.
The 20-year-old spent successful loans at MK Dons and Derby County last season and will continue his education in the Championship.
“It’s taken a while but I’m glad to finally be here,” Bamford said.
“I had a chat with Aitor about ten days ago, but there was a hold up in the paperwork after I’d decided it was Middlesbrough that I wanted to go to.
“It seemed to take forever to go through but then it was just a case of getting up here for the game on Saturday.”
Bamford joins Kenneth Omeruo in moving to Boro on loan from the Blues.
