Last updated : 11 August 2002 By
The 30-year old out of favour defender is now expected to travel to the Riverside in the next few days to have talks with Steve McClaren about moving to Teesside.

Laursen, who previously spent 4 succesful seasons at Derby, joined Leicester last season but struggled to show any kind of form and was farmed out on loan to Wolves at the end of last season. During his time at Wolves he criticised Leicester and this upset everyone at Filbert Street.

Adams ," We have given Jacob permission to speak to Steve McClaren and Middlesbrough. The rest is down to Jacob and Middlesbrough."

It is expected that Jacob will cost very little as Leicester would just be happy to get him off there wage bill.
