According to a report in The Huddersfield Daily Examiner, Huddersfield Town manager David Wagner has denied winger Rajiv van La Parra will be moving to Championship side Middlesbrough on loan this transfer window.
Middlesbrough had reportedly expressed an interest in Huddersfield Town winger Rajiv van La Parra earlier in the transfer window, and had turned their attention to the Dutchman after missing out on Yannick Bolasie, with the Everton man choosing to join Aston Villa.
However, Huddersfield manager David Wagner has ruled out a move to the Championship, and suggests van La Parra is to stay at the John Smith’s Stadium beyond the transfer window.
“Listen, I don’t like to be disrespectful but Rajiv plays in the Premier League”, he said.
“I can’t see that he is keen to play in the Championship, so this is why I do not really understand the rumours and the questions because usually a player likes to play on the highest level.”
He added, “For us, the window is closed, even if it isn’t in terms of outgoings.
“We have a group together which is excited, which is young and very talented, hungry and greedy, which can grow, progress and improve.
“We have good characters, as we have seen in the Cardiff game, who work together and fight together.
“So why someone should leave this dressing room I have no idea why.”
Having missed out on Bolasie, and now van La Parra, Middlesbrough will now turn their attention to Benfica and Portugal winger Rafa Silva, as reported on The 72 earlier today.
