Aitor Karanka hints at January spending for Middlesbrough

By , Reporter
Aitor Karanka suggests that Middlesbrough could sign more players in January to strengthen their chances of promotion to the Premier League.

Middlesbrough manager Aitor Karanka has not ruled out bringing in more players in the January transfer window.

Boro are currently fifth in the Championship table after drawing 1-1 with Blackburn Rovers on Saturday.

Speaking before Saturday's game, Karanka hinted that further signings may be needed to keep the Teesiders in contention for promotion to the Premier League.

Karanka is quoted by the Evening Gazette as saying: "At the moment I don't think about strengthening the squad because now we are in November, then we have December and then in January we will see what is going to happen.

"But at the moment I am really happy with the squad, with the players, the way they are now, so I am not thinking about the January market."

Boro resume their playoff push when they travel to London to take on Millwall next Saturday.
