Fletcher joins Middlesbrough in £6.5million deal

Middlesbrough have announced the signing of striker Ashley Fletcher from West Ham for £6.5million. The 21-year-old signed a four-year contract after finalising terms with the Championship club on Thursday. Fletcher follows Darren Randolph in leaving West Ham for Boro, the goalkeeper having completed a £5m switch last week. He is Boro's 11th signing in what has been a hectic transfer window for Garry Monk's side. The England youth international progressed through the Manchester United academy but signed a four-year deal with West Ham in July last year, having impressed during a six-month loan spell with Barnsley. He scored his only goal for the Hammers in a 4-1 EFL Cup defeat to his former club at Old Trafford in November. @AshFletcher___ #UTB pic.twitter.com/4jnLx20tty — Middlesbrough FC (@Boro) July 28, 2017
