DONE DEAL! Middlesbrough sign Chelsea striker Patrick Bamford

Patrick Bamford has joined Middlesbrough on a permanent transfer from Chelsea.

The striker has moved to Teeside for an undisclosed fee, thought to be £6million, signing a four-and-a-half-year deal, Boro announced on Wednesday.

Bamford, who scored 19 goals on loan at Boro in 2014-15, was earlier this month recalled by Chelsea from a loan spell at Burnley, for whom he made six appearances.

"Middlesbrough have secured the signing of striker Patrick Bamford from Chelsea for an undisclosed fee," the club announced on their official website.

The 23-year-old Bamford did not make a first-team appearance for Chelsea, who he joined from Nottingham Forest in January 2012.
