Kike Sola joins Middlesbrough on loan from Athletic Bilbao

Middlesbrough have signed Enrique "Kike" Sola on loan from Athletic Bilbao.

Former Spain under-21 striker Sola, 29, arrives to bolster Aitor Karanka's squad as the Championship leaders look to secure promotion back to the Premier League.

"He is a player who can bring something different," Karanka said. "He is strong, he can play as a second striker and as a No. 10.

"He brings something extra we don't have."

Boro are also reported to be seeking a move for Benfica defender Victor Lindelof, 21.

"There's nothing close," Karanka said. "He's a player on the list."
