"Sky Sports" reporter Lyle Thomas reported that Middlesbrough is interested in signing Chelsea defender Alfie Gilchrist.

Middlesbrough is asking about signing Gilchrist, and the 21-year-old defender has one year left on his contract at Stamford Bridge. Last season, Gilchrist was loaned to Sheffield United, and he made 32 appearances in various competitions. Many English Championship clubs hope to introduce Gilchrist, and Middlesbrough is one of them.

Gilchrist has 17 appearances with Chelsea first team and has a goal. His most recent appearance for Chelsea was the Premier League match in May 2024 when the team beat West Ham United 5-0.
