Middlesbrough striker Emmanuel Latte Lath has joined Atlanta United for \u00a322.5m, a record fee received by Boro.<\/b><\/p>\n

Latte Lath completed the transfer, for what is also the highest fee paid in Major League Soccer (MLS) history, before Monday’s transfer deadline.<\/p>\n

The Ivory Coast international scored 27 goals in 59 Championship appearances after joining Middlesbrough<\/a> from Swiss club St Gallen in August 2023.<\/p>\n

Latte Lath, 26, will team up with former Newcastle United winger Miguel Almiron, who joined the Georgia outfit<\/a> in an \u00a38m deal.<\/p>\n

Middlesbrough have already moved to replace Latte Lath by signing former Manchester City and Leicester City striker Kelechi Iheanacho<\/a> on loan from Sevilla until the end of the season, following the addition of Morgan Whittaker from Plymouth Argyle.<\/a><\/p>\n

The Latte Lath deal is believed to bring the club about \u00a317.6m up front and \u00a34.9m in add-ons.<\/p>\n

He was not involved in Monday’s home defeat by Sunderland<\/a> which left Boro outside the Championship play-off places on goal difference.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
