Middlesbrough newcomer Lee Tomlin is keen to link up with fellow recent arrival Danny Graham at the Riverside.
The 25-year-old loan striker is currently serving a suspension having been sent-off last time out for Peterborough United. He isn’t therefore eligible for Boro until the visit of Leeds United later this month.
“I like to thread balls through for those in front of me and he likes to finish things off, so in that sense it should work,” Tomlin told the Northern Echo. “Let’s hope we can get it working as soon as we start playing together.”
Tomlin could actually earn himself a permanent £1m-plus deal in the summer and added: “I know they have been interested a few times but it was Peterborough’s valuation. It was not that much of a surprise when they came back in. I am just happy to be here and that it has happened. I just keep smiling.
“It’s a massive deal and another step in the direction for me in my career. The deal arrived late on deadline day and I had to drive to Peterborough to get it tied up. I am going to miss Peterborough but that’s football.”
