The fist-pump reaction Kim Hellberg was quick to spot in training and why it matters

Middlesbrough manager Kim Hellberg has praised striker Will Lankshear for his goalscoring mentality and strong start to the season. The 21-year-old forward joined Middlesbrough from Tottenham Hotspur in the summer for an initial fee of £10 million in a deal potentially rising to £20 million.

Lankshear has scored eight goals in 11 appearances across all competitions for Middlesbrough. Hellberg highlighted Lankshear's determination in training, including celebrating small-sided goals with a fist-pump, as the striker prepared for an international qualifier with England Under-21s against Kazakhstan at Molineux.
