Middlesbrough are looking to keep striker Will Lankshear in January despite interest from Premier League clubs, including Newcastle United and Leeds United, according to Football Insider.

Lankshear has scored 13 goals in the same number of Championship matches this season, and 15 goals in all competitions, boosting interest from Premier League clubs. Reports suggest Middlesbrough may ask for at least £30 million to consider selling him, while the report expects the club to hold on to him given the potential impact of his departure on its bid for promotion to the Premier League.
