Middlesborough to sign Kafes?

It has been reported today that Middlesborough will today attempt to sign 29 year old Right Midfielder Pantelis Kafes from AEK Athens for a fee of around 1.9 million pounds. Kafes, who is known for his excellent crossing ability, said of the move, "Although I am happy in Greece, it is every players dream to play in England and at my age I probably won't get another chance. Naturally I would snap Mr Southgate's hand off should an offer come my way."

Southgate commented: "I have been watching Pantelis for a while now and have been impressed by his drive and of course his passing range. I would love to sign him and have already made a reasonable bid. I hope that Athens accept."

Middlesborough have a Away match with West Ham United to worry about first however.
