Patrick Roberts’ stint at Middlesbrough could be cut short as hes struggled for form and playing time at the Riverside Stadium, says the Northern Echo. The 23-year-old has been overlooked by Neil Warnock despite the Boro manager bemoaning a lack of depth in wide areas, so he’s better off elsewhere.
Roberts isn’t likely to feature back at City so he may need to be loaned out again or sold before the winter transfer window shuts. The out-of-form winger has been playing Championship football since the start of last season – Norwich City (July 2019 – January 2020), Boro (January 2020 – July 2020) (October 2020 – present) – so he should have interest from second-tier clubs in January.
