Burnley fullback Matt Lowton is being lined up for a Premier League return.
The Mirror says Bournemouth and Middlesbrough are monitoring right-back Lowton's situation at Burnley ahead of the January transfer window.
The 26-year-old joined the Clarets from Aston Villa in the summer for a fee of around £1million but he suffered an injury in pre-season and has figured just once for Sean Dyche's side.
The Burnley boss has stayed loyal to the players who have ensured his side are up among the pacesetters and that has limited Lowton's opportunities.
