Manchester United goalkeeper Radek Vitek is close to completing a permanent move to Middlesbrough.
Vitek scooped all the Bristol City Player of the Year awards last season but returned to United for the start of pre-season.
However, the 22-year-old made it clear when he spoke to reporters in Norway last month he expected to spend the season away from Old Trafford.
"I'm ready to go somewhere again and hopefully be number one," he said.
Middlesbrough are one of a number of clubs keen to sign the Czech.
