Middlesbrough midfielder Hayden Hackney has been deemed not for sale despite interest from the Premier League.

Boro were unable to resist major player sales earlier in the transfer window but after the sales of Rav van den Berg and Josh Coburn for about £12m they have recouped enough to balance the books.

The Championship club intend to hold onto Hackney despite reported interest from West Ham and Everton.

The 23-year-old has started all three opening Championship games this season and has contributed a goal and an assist in the side's perfect start.
