Lee Hendrie claims Middlesbrough have joined the chase
to sign him.
The former England international is available on a free transfer
after seeing out his contract at Aston Villa.
A host of clubs have been linked with the 30-year-old and Hendrie
says former Villa team-mate Gareth Southgate has expressed an
interest in taking him to Teesside.
"Middlesbrough are the latest club to make an inquiry - there has
been interest from eight," Hendrie told the News of the
World.
"I know Gareth well and admit it would be very tempting.
"I'd like to stay in the Premiership and think I can still do a job
here.
"I hope to get a deal done with someone soon."
