Middlesbrough excited after signing Chelsea's Bamford

Middlesbrough boss Aitor Karanka admits he is extremely happy with the addition of Patrick Bamford.

The 20-year old Chelsea striker has signed a season-long loan deal with Boro and Karanka is expecting him to perform well in the Championship following his successful stint with Derby County last term.

"Everyone knows that Patrick is a very good player with a bright future in the game," said Karanka.

"He scored a lot of goals during his previous loan spells and will be a good addition to our squad.

"I first enquired about trying to bring Patrick to Middlesbrough last December so I am delighted that everything has now been agreed.

"I'm looking forward to working with him."
