Middlesbrough hope to sign Yannick Bolasie from Everton.
Neil Warnock confirmed the Championship club are in talks with Bolasie over a short-term deal until the summer after their 3-0 home defeat to Rotherham United on Wednesday.
Warnock said: “He was going to go abroad but we had a chat.”
Middlesbrough have expressed interest in Bolasie in the past, including in the summer transfer window when a deal fell through on deadline day in October.
Bolasie said at the time: "Disappointed the deal couldn't get done in time.
"Signed and sent off, waited until 19:00 with real hope. All I want to do is say thank you to Neil Warnock and wish Middlesbrough all the best."
He had not featured for Everton since 2018 after arriving for £25m two years previous under Ronald Koeman.
