Boro will not make a decision on Jelle Vossen’s future until the end of the season.
According to reports coming out of Belgium, the striker’s parent club Genk require an answer from Middlesbrough on whether they will sign him on a long-term deal by close of play on March 31.
But the Gazette understands that a decision won’t be made on his future by Boro until the Championship season is complete.
Vossen signed a season-long loan deal on the final day of the summer transfer window on September 1 and the club have the option to make that deal permanent or release him back to Genk in late May.
Vossen has made 28 Championship appearances for Boro, including 16 starts, and has scored six league goals - including the hat-trick at Millwall.
He has also played in four cup ties since moving to England, scoring once.
Aged 26, he has showed on several occasions that he is a skillful and dangerous player in the final third and a decent finisher but hasn’t, as yet, enjoyed an extended run of games in the first team, partly as a result of injuries.
