Hayden Hackney's Boro exit moves a step closer with latest Everton development

Everton agreed a deal worth at least £16.5 million for the 24-year-old midfielder, who is expected to be announced within a week.

  • On Wednesday, midfielder Hayden Hackney underwent his medical ahead of his transfer from Middlesbrough to Everton, with the deal worth £17m up front and potentially £25m with add-ons.
  • After Boro missed promotion last season, the 24-year-old decided to leave with one year remaining on his contract, having previously rejected interest from Ipswich Town to pursue Premier League football.
  • A product of the Rockliffe Park academy, the former Championship Player of the Season leaves Middlesbrough having recorded 16 goals across 154 senior appearances for the club.
  • Everton manager David Moyes welcomed the midfielder, stating, "Hayden is a promising young player who we've been tracking for some time," citing his record of developing Championship talent.
  • While Hackney aims to join pre-season training immediately, Middlesbrough are reportedly targeting Leicester City midfielder Oliver Skipp to strengthen their squad after missing promotion.
