Birmingham City defender Ryan Shotton is currently undergoing his medical of fellow Championship club Middlebrough ahead of his £3 million move.
The move has been on the cards for several weeks now but Blues manager Harry Redknapp has been reluctant to let him leave before finding a replacement.
With Shotton now up north, it would indicate that Blues’ move for Brentford defender Harlee Dean is almost complete.
We will have more on both deals once all is completed.
