Middlesbrough had an eventful transfer window in January, bringing in five new faces, and allowing eight players to depart either permanently or on loan deals.
Fulham winger, Neeskens Kebano, joined the club on a short-term loan and the 28-time Democratic Republic of Congo international has given his first interview since arriving to the club’s official website.
He revealed that the move was incredibly last minute, but he is glad he can start to play regularly again after being used sporadically under Scott Parker at Craven Cottage.
“I’ve had two days here and found it very, very good so far,” he said.
“If you asked me on the last transfer day about 8pm if I was moving, I would have said no.
“It happened quickly in the evening, but I’m really happy to be here.
“When you are a football player you want to play, I wasn’t getting that so I needed to make a decision.”
When asked about the possibility of success at Boro this season, Kebano believes Middlesbrough have what it takes to achieve promotion to the top tier for the first time since 2016.
“There is lots of quality in the team here, and they have been very welcoming. With me and the new lads I hope we will be good enough to get the promotion.
“I can’t wait to get going and to embrace the challenge.”
