Middlesbrough considering a move to bring back Albert Adomah to the club in the winter transfer window, The Northern Echo reports.

The 30-year-old is on cloud nine at Aston Villa where he has made 10 starts and five substitute appearances in the Championship so far.

The Ghana international is being linked with a return to the club where he made his mark after a three-year spell, before falling out with Aitor Karanka saw him move to Villa.

Boro manager Tony Pulis is reported to have made the 30-year-old his prime target in the winter transfer window as he looks to bolster his attacking ranks.

Adomah is reported to be inching closer to a return to the Riverside Stadium after seeing a similar move collapse in the summer.
