kysports.com understands that Yakubu Aiyegbeni is looking to leave Middlesbrough this summer.
The Nigerian is believed to have grown discontent with life on Teesside and is now ready for a fresh challenge after two years with the North East club.
Sources close to the player have revealed that Yakubu is ready to quit after recently being dropped from Gareth Southgate’s starting XI.
South Korean striker Lee Dong-gook has been brought in and Southgate could well see him as the long-term replacement for Yakubu.
The African marksman was one of the top scorers in the Premiership when he moved to Middlesbrough and his form has continued at The Riverside.
In his two years with Boro, Yakubu has notched 35 goals, but he has not scored since February and is now understood to be looking for a fresh challenge.
With the news that one of England’s most prolific strikers could be ready to move, a host of clubs from the Premiership and the continent are likely to monitor the situation — although Boro will likely be looking for a fee in the region of £10million for Yakubu, having paid £7.5million for him in 2005.
bollocks, if him and viduka do one, what are we going to do..
