Suddenly, it&#8217;s not just automatic promotion that Boro can achieve this season, it&#8217;s going to the top.<\/p>\n<p>January&#8217;s transfer business may not be over yet. Helberg and others have reportedly been linked with Celtic&#8217;s current Championship goalscorer Joe Rothwell.<\/p>\n<p>    <!-- No AdsNinja v10 Client! --><\/p>\n<h2 id=\"middlesbrough-launch-offer-to-sign-adam-armstrong\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Middlesbrough_open_contract_offer_for_Adam_Armstrong\"><\/span>\n                        <strong>Middlesbrough open contract offer for Adam Armstrong<\/strong><br \/>\n               <span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>According to Sports Boom, Middlesbrough have opened an offer to sign Adam Armstrong from Southampton, with the offer worth eight figures. They are competing with Wrexham, Stoke City and Ipswich Town in the four-man transfer race in the Championship.<\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s easy to see why Middlesbrough, a side competing for promotion, had their sights set on Armstrong. The 28-year-old is a serial goalscorer at this level and already has experience in the Premier League. He could make a huge difference on Teesside if we secure his signature.<\/p>\n<div class=\"table-container\">\n<table border=\"1\" cellpadding=\"1\" cellspacing=\"1\" style=\"\" align=\"\" summary=\"\">\n<thead>\n<tr>\n<th scope=\"col\">\n<p>armstrong<\/p>\n<\/th>\n<th scope=\"col\">\n<p>Winning record<\/p>\n<\/th>\n<\/tr>\n<\/thead>\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td>\n<p>Appearance<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<td>\n<p>277<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>\n<p>the goal<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<td>\n<p>91<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>\n<p>assist<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<td>\n<p>37<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table><\/div>\n<p>The goals haven&#8217;t stopped this season either. Armstrong played in 32 games in all competitions, scoring 11 goals and providing four assists. Despite Southampton&#8217;s struggles, he continued to make headlines, taking his tally to 139 goals in senior competition.<\/p>\n<p>Boro&#8217;s forwards lack the same belief. Tommy Conway and David Strelek have both yet to reach double digits in goals, and a player as experienced as Armstrong could take that spot.<\/p>\n<div class=\"display-card  article article-card small  no-badge  active-content                      \" data-include-community-rating=\"false\" id=\"best-atmospheres-fans-stadiums-efl-championship-ranked-2026\" data-nosnippet=\"\">\n<picture><source media=\"(max-width: 480px)\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/static0.footballfancastimages.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/wrexham-fans-racecourse-ground.jpg?q=49&amp;fit=crop&amp;w=140&amp;h=98&amp;dpr=2\" srcset=\"https:\/\/static0.footballfancastimages.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/wrexham-fans-racecourse-ground.jpg?q=49&amp;fit=crop&amp;w=140&amp;h=98&amp;dpr=2\"\/>\n        <\/picture>\n<p>                    <span data-field=\"label\" class=\"article-card-label\"><label>related<\/label><\/span><\/p>\n<div class=\"w-display-card-content regular article-block\">\n<h5 class=\"display-card-title \"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Ranking_of_EFL_Championship_stadiums_by_atmosphere_2026\"><\/span>\n<p>\t\t\tRanking of EFL Championship stadiums by atmosphere (2026)<\/p>\n<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h5>\n<p class=\"display-card-excerpt\">Which team has the loudest fans in the Championship?<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p>There is a lot of interest in the Southampton striker, but reports suggest Middlesbrough are already looking to get ahead of rival clubs in securing a sweet deal with final conditions.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>According to recent reports, Middlesbrough have made an offer to sign the Championship serial scorer ahead of three other clubs.
