Emmo in Boro link - Reuters
Brett Emerton is reportedly on the brink of joining fellow Socceroos Mark Viduka and Mark Schwarzer at Middlesbrough.
Emerton, 27, has a year to run on his current contract with Blackburn Rovers, but the club would prefer to cash in on the Australian midfielder in the current transfer window rather than risk losing him on a free Bosman transfer the following summer.
Emerton has reportedly had two days of talks with Blackburn about extending his contract, but without a fresh deal being struck, and with Boro having registered interest in signing him.
Emerton has played 103 games for Blackburn since signing from Dutch club Feyenoord three years ago.
Meanwhile, Blackburn's other Socceroo star Lucas Neill is also being linked with a move away, to Tottenham.
