Middlesbrough are set to turn their transfer attentions to midfielder Otto Rosengren as they look to bolster Kim Hellberg's squad for the new season.
Reports in Sweden claim Boro are keen on the 23-year-old, who currently plays for Malmo.

The one-time capped Sweden international is currently in action for Malmo, and he played the full 90 minutes of their 4-0 win over Gothenberg on Sunday.
However, scouts from Bundeliga outfit Cologne have also watched the midfielder, who has 18 months left on his current contract.
