Middlesbrough to swoop for Webber

Danny Webber
Webber began his career with Manchester United

Middlesbrough are set to sign former Sheffield United striker Danny Webber, BBC Tees understands.

The 27-year-old is believed to have rejected an approach from Championship side Swansea City in order to agree a deal with the Teessiders.

Webber began his career at Manchester United but moved to Watford after just four first-team appearances.

He then spent three seasons with the Hornets before sealing a swap-deal to Sheffield United in 2004-05.

Boro boss Gareth Southgate has already signed striker Leroy Lita after his release by Reading, and with Tuncay linked with a move to Stoke, and Afonso Alves and Mido seeking moves away, Southgate is keen to bolster his striking options.
