Plymouth Argyle forward Morgan Whittaker has transferred to Middlesbrough for a reported £6 million, which would more than double Argyle's previous record transfer fee. Whittaker, who joined Argyle from Swansea City last year, enjoyed past success but has struggled to find form this season. The transfer comes after a no-show in a recent match against Burnley, highlighting his declining performance. His partnership with Finn Azaz at Middlesbrough rekindles a successful collaboration they had previously. The switch reinforces Middlesbrough's ambitions in the Championship as they seek to enhance their squad.
"There was a lot of interest in him, but it says a lot that he wanted to come here and be a part of things," said Middlesbrough boss Michael Carrick.
Whittaker's goalscoring form has dropped off significantly following Schumacher's departure. His final goal for Plymouth was in the FA Cup against Brentford.
