Live: All the latest news from Boro's summer Transfer Deadline Day
Boro have completed their second transfer deadline day signing.
Belgian forward Jelle Vossen has joined the club from Genk on a season-long loan following a courtship that stretches back to the summer of 2013.
The 25-year-old arrived at Rockliffe Park on Sunday along with Dutch winger Yanic Wildschut, who agreed a two-year deal this morning .
Boro were close to signing Vossen on transfer deadline day 12 months ago but were unable to agree a fee with Genk.
The player made public his desire to leave the Belgian top flight club , who were keen to realise the maximum possible fee for their prize asset.
Boro have initially signed Vossen on loan with a view to a long-term deal further down the line.
Vossen and Wildschut are the two players Boro were aiming to sign before the window closes though they also hope to complete a deal for 19-year-old Chelsea midfielder Lewis Baker.
That transfer, however, could go through as an emergency loan when that window opens next week.
