Middlesbrough Football Club are keen to take Dave Kitson on loan.

The striker has proved himself to be a reliable goalscorer with Reading, although he has struggled since making a £5.5million move to Stoke City last summer.

Indeed, Kitson has scored just twice in the Premier League since his move to the Britannia Stadium, although his performances this season have improved.

The Mirror claim Gordon Strachan wants to add the 29-year-old to his squad at the Riverside Stadium in a loan deal, which could be made permanent if he impresses.
