Super Eagles captain John Obi Mikel undergo medical at Middlesbrough today after agreeing personal terms with the Championship club, BSNSports.com.ng reports.

Mikel held talks with Tony Pulis at the Middlesbrough training ground last week before returning to London to visit his family.

Mikel has been on the radar of several European big weights like Roma and Wolfsburg after his stay with Chinese club Tianjin Teda but it seems a reunion with his family has now given the championship side pole position to land the midfielder.

Middlesbrough, under former Stoke City manager Tony Pulis, are in the promotion playoffs bracket as they are fifth in the standings with 47 points from 28 matches.
