Jason Roberts is a target for Middlesbrough Football Club.

The powerful striker has made nine Premier League starts for Blackburn Rovers this season, but he could be sold to raise funds for Sam Allardyce.

The Ewood Park boss is eager to enter the transfer window to bolster his squad, but he has confirmed he must offload players before making any bids.

It is being suggested that Gordon Strachan is keen to add Roberts, 31, to his Riverside Stadium side this month, as he looks to reignite their promotion bid.
