What happened. Middlesbrough agreed to pay up to £20m for Ashley Phillips, but the deal stalled after concerns in his medical, and talks are ongoing.

• Phillips spent last two seasons on loan at Stoke City.
• He joined Tottenham for £2m in 2023 but has yet to play for their senior team.
• Boro have had a busy summer, signing several players after a sell-on fee from Morgan Rogers' move.

If the move goes through, it would add to Middlesbrough's busy summer under Kim Hellberg.
