Middlesbrough and Arsenal have agreed terms and conditions that will take striker Jeremie Aliádíère to the Riverside Stadium.

Boro's official website announced that a deal had been agreed in principle and that a deal would be concluded in the next two weeks, when Aliádíère returns from holiday.

"We tried to sign him in January but were thwarted by Arsenal's injuries," said chief executive Keith Lamb.

"He fits perfectly with the sort of player we are trying to bring in.

"He has pace and energy and he is young with his best years in front of him.

why should the professor of football - wenger allow such a move with his present stand on not willing to sign for us experience players.... Arsenal's performance at the moment is choking our love for the club... and please, henry have mercy on me and dont turn your back at arsenal... we need ur experience badly.... please, wenger inject experience into arsenal so that our boys of great potential can learn fast from them... thank you

He is a top player...served the club and was always loyal. his age and position just hindered him from breaking into the first team. Good luck Ali

A quality player in my opinion,but i guess all his injuries and the emergence of new talent in Arsenal have made his career a standstill.I wish him luck where he is headed.
