Boro lost Emmanuel Latte Lath in the 2025 winter transfer window, selling the forward for a record £22.5 million.
Kelechi Iheanacho arrived on loan earlier this year but has already returned to Sevilla.
Josh Coburn has also been sold to Millwall, leaving Tommy Conway as Middlesbrough’s only natural, senior number nine for the upcoming season.
However, the Teessiders are working on deals for centre-forwards, and we have an exclusive update.
Middlesbrough looking for forwards, with updates on David Strelec and Danny Ings
We reported earlier this month that Middlesbrough was in talks with Danny Ings about a transfer.
After leaving the Hammers, the free agent wanted to continue playing in the Premier League and was also interested in joining the MLS.
Meanwhile, the North East outfit has been linked with David Strelec for some time.
After speaking with our transfer correspondent, Graeme Bailey, EFL Analysis has learned that Middlesbrough is actively seeking strikers, with two anticipated to arrive.
Strelec is a player they respect, and a move for the forward should not be ruled out.
Ings discussions are still underway, and Boro wants him, but it all hinges on the deal they make.
David Strelec and Danny Ings stats vs Tommy Conway
Following the departure of Latte Lath, Conway led Middlesbrough’s line for the balance of the season.

Strelec has three goals in two Champions League qualification matches this season after scoring 25 in 48 the previous season.
Ings struggled for playing time during the most recent season, scoring once in 15 Premier League games for West Ham.
