Will Lankshear has made an excellent start at Boro
Middlesbrough manager Kim Hellberg admitted he was surprised by how quickly striker Will Lankshear adapted to the team's tactical style and developed his all-round game. While Hellberg expected the forward to score goals, he highlighted Lankshear's rapid progress in pressing and link-up play as an unexpected positive.
Boro signed the 21-year-old striker from Tottenham for an initial £8m fee following his loan stint at Oxford United. Lankshear has scored 10 goals this season, joining Manchester City's Erling Haaland as the only players across England's top four tiers to reach that mark.
