The representatives of Swansea City striker Danny Graham have claimed that the forward will not be signing for Middlesbrough on deadline day.

The 27-year-old, who is thought to be open to leaving the Liberty Stadium before tonight's 11pm deadline, is believed to be in high demand by clubs in the North-East of England.

Reports emerged this morning claiming that Championship side Middlesbrough had agreed a £5m fee with the Welsh club for the forward.

Despite Middlesbrough's interest, the frontman's agent has claimed that Graham has no intention of dropping down a league to re-sign for the club, according to Sky Sports News.

Premier League outfit Sunderland have been heavily linked with a swoop for the forward.
