Middlesbrough chairman Steve Gibson has confirmed that he has submitted a bid for Arsenal defender Justin Hoyte.

Gareth Southgate is seeking reinforcements at Boro following full-back Luke Young's move to Aston Villa and Hoyte could prove a perfect replacement.

Boro scouts watched Hoyte, 23, in action as Arsenal participated in the Amsterdam Tournament over the weekend.

And Gibson has now revealed that Boro have made an offer for Hoyte and that they are awaiting a response from the Gunners.

"We have submitted a bid and that's with Arsenal," Gibson told Sky Sports News. "We are waiting for Arsenal to respond.

"We have a fantastic relationship with Arsenal. They are good people there and we would never fall out with them.

"But we have given it our best offer and we hope that it happens. If it doesn't we move on."

for the best really, middlesbrough are about his level, i.e average. laughable on arsenal.com seeing justin hoyte saying he'll be as good as sagna, never in a million years son.

good luck to him anyway. :s_bye

If it's true, good luck to him, enjoy his stay at the Riverside. We've already god Sagna, and Eboue can easily deputize.

You'd rather have Hoyte in there? I agree, Eboue's shit, but honestly, Hoyte is somehow worse. No presence on the field, he gets knocked down like he's a matchstick.

Sell him if we are gonna use the funds to buy a quality CDM.

Hoyte needs to think...he's 23, he needs to be playing regularly, and tbh he will never dislodge Sagna so he should go

I think he will be wise to go. He will get regular play and gain more experience with Middlesbrough, and we could do with the funds. :s_thumbsup

Keith Lamb, Middlesbrough CEO on Talksport now saying Justin will be in Middlesbrough tomorrow for talks and medical. Looks like he is on his way then. Hope we can use the money now to put towards signing a quality, experienced CDM. Won't hold my breath though.
