Pompey midfielder agrees Middlesbrough switch
The on-off saga of Gary O'Neil's move to Middlesbrough has been concluded with the midfielder agreeing a switch to The Riverside.
The Portsmouth midfielder has now joined Gareth Southgate's men.
The terms of the deal have yet to be revealed but it is thought the fee will be based on appearances.
Earlier in the day, the deal appeared to be dead after O'Neil failed a medical.
But the two parties worked hard into the night to resurrect the move.
It is understood a long-standing ankle injury had been the stumbling block.
Boro have been keen on the 24-year-old all summer and he was linked as part of the potential deal for Yakubu Aiyegbeni, who has since joined Everton.
