Fabio Da Silva keen to secure Middlesbrough exit?

Defender Fabio Da Silva has reportedly expressed a desire to leave Middlesbrough during the January transfer window.

Fabio penned a deal with Boro at the start of last season and has since gone on to make 48 appearances in all competitions for the North-East outfit.

The 27-year-old was also a regular under Garry Monk, but the full-back has dropped out of the side since the arrival of new boss Tony Pulis.

According to the Daily Mail, that has led to the Brazilian looking for a way out of the Riverside Stadium before the end of the month.

As it stands, no clubs have made an offer but the former Manchester United and Cardiff City defender will likely receive interest before the end of the winter window.
