    Middlesbrough boss Kim Hellberg was full of praise for new signings Will Lankshear and Kyle Joseph after the side's pre-season 3-3 draw with Espanyol.

    The two forwards were brought in this summer in an effort to improve Boro's finishing after they were wasteful in front of goal last season.

    "Will as a nine is absolutely brilliant, he's mobile, he can do almost anything," Hellberg told BBC Radio Tees. "Then I think Kyle has that pace.

    "I think everyone saw last season that we struggled scoring goals. There was no team that created more clear chances than us, we all know that and we need to add on our quality.

    "I'm looking forward to keep working with both Kyle and Will. They are showing brilliant qualities and they both are great human beings that want to improve."
