    Middlesbrough have won the race to sign Aston Villa defender Finley Munroe.

    The 20-year-old is expected to sign a long-term deal at the Riverside after Boro agreed a deal of around £300,000 with Villa.

    Bristol City also made an offer but the left-back is heading to the north east, with the deal also including a large sell-on fee.

    Munroe will become Boro's second January signing after midfielder Leo Castledine joined the Championship promotion hopefuls from Chelsea last week.

    He was recalled from his loan at Swindon on Monday ahead of his expected permanent move from Villa Park.

    Munroe made 27 appearances for Swindon, scoring twice, with Ian Holloway's side second in League Two and five points behind leaders Bromley.

    He joined Villa after leaving Chelsea's academy in 2021 and made two senior appearances for the club.

    His debut came as a late substitute in the Europa Conference League semi-final defeat at Olympiakos, before coming on in the Premier League against Crystal Palace in May 2024.

    They came after he signed a new contract while he spent last season on loan at Real Union, Villa's sister club in Spain.

    Middlesbrough and Bristol City have made offers for Aston Villa defender Finley Munroe.

    The Championship pair are fighting to sign the left-back who has been on loan at Swindon this season.

    The Robins' bid is around £350,000, with Boro's offer around the same and includes a sell-on clause.

    A move from Villa Park could be finalised this week as Munroe was recalled by Villa on Monday.

    Munroe has made 27 appearances for Swindon, scoring twice, with Ian Holloway's side second in League Two, five points behind leaders Bromley.

    The 20-year-old joined Villa after leaving Chelsea's academy in 2021.
