Germany defender Robert Huth is set to join Middlesbrough FC after agreeing a five-year deal with this season's UEFA Cup finalists.

Premiership interest
The club agreed an undisclosed fee with Chelsea FC last week – thought to be in the region of €7.3m, and the move is now expected to be finalised following the FIFA World Cup after personal terms were finalised. The 21-year-old Huth has also been tracked by Wigan Athletic FC and Everton FC in recent months but their hopes appear to have been ended after he said: "The offer from Middlesbrough convinced me, and I hope I can establish myself there. It will happen in the next few weeks."
