Ghana and Middlesbrough star Albert Adomah is in line to have his first feel of the English Premiership this weekend when his side take on Stoke City in the first game of the season.

The Ghanaian is raring for his debut in the world’s most popular league after contributing hugely to the team’s success in the championship.

Adomah is likely to start at the River side in what is expected to be a keenly contested game against the Potters.

Middlesborough have added quality to their set-up with Victor Valdes and former Manchester City forward Alvaro Negredo all joining Aito Karanka's men.
