Boro Still Keen On Huth

Last updated : 27 July 2006 By Sam
The 21-year-old German international defender was poised to join Boro in a £5million move earlier this summer only for the deal to fall through after he failed his medical with an ankle problem.

Now Boro Chief Executive Keith Lamb has revealed that all parties are close to agreeing on an initial loan deal.

"The Huth deal is still very much alive," he said.

"There's a willingness between ourselves, Chelsea and Robert to take the matter forward on a loan deal with an option to buy."
