MIDDLESBROUGH boss Gordon Strachan will this week launch a pounds 550,000 bid for Dundee United midfielder Craig Conway.
He has told Boro chiefs to make contact and thrash out a fee.
The Arabs want to keep Conway but may not be able to resist a bid as they attempt to reduce their debt of around pounds 5.5million.
Conway helped Peter Houston’s men finish third in the SPL and win the Scottish Cup. His consistent displays have attracted several clubs but Boro lead the chase.
If the move goes through it will be the eighth player Strachan has signed from the SPL.
Meanwhile, Aberdeen have joined Hearts in the race to sign Scotland star Paul Hartley.
Hartley wants a move back to the SPL from Bristol City and Dons gaffer Mark McGhee hopes to pip Jim Jefferies to his signature.
Ex-Celt Hartley is expected to make a decision this week.
