Several teams are interested in moving for Middlesbrough defender Rav van den Berg, including West Ham, Everton, Brighton, Brentford, Bournemouth, and Crystal Palace
.
Arriving in the summer transfer window, Everton, West Ham, and Brighton are among the Premier League teams keeping an eye on Middlesbrough defender Rav van den Berg.
The current career of Rav van den Berg
Despite his youth, the 19-year-old made over 30 games for his boyhood club in the top two levels of the Netherlands after rising through the ranks at PEC Zwolle.
Van den Berg’s potential made him a target for several elite teams last summer, but the teenager put his weekly football practice above all else, and Middlesbrough ended up signing him.Even though Boro’s season has been dismal overall, van den Berg has benefited from it because he has typically performed well for Michael Carrick at both right-back and center-back.
Rav van den Berg’s most recent transfer
HITC has reported that several Premier League teams are keeping a watch on van den Berg ahead of the summer transfer window, suggesting that his performances have also attracted attention from other teams.
The manager Michael Carrick recently gave the brother of Liverpool’s Sepp the armband as captain. He has quickly established himself as one of the best young possibilities in the Championship.
“HITC can confirm that a number of Premier League clubs are pursuing Van den Berg, which may put Boro’s commitment to keeping him long-term to the test. We know that some of the teams who have watched him in recent months are Bournemouth, Brentford, Brighton and Hove Albion, Crystal Palace, Everton, and West Ham Unite

Plans for Middlesbrough’s summer transfers
Given the likelihood that Boro will play in the Championship the following season, Carrick and the recruiting staff will have a busy summer ahead of them as they attempt to assemble a team capable of challenging for promotion.
Van den Berg is a player that they will want to retain given his caliber, and as his all-around game develops in the future, you would anticipate seeing him get even better.
Selling him is therefore not in their plans, but in football, especially with the resources that Premier League teams possess, nothing is impossible.
Furthermore, Boro would not want to spend another season in the second division, and even if they are not in dire straits financially, a significant sale could be necessary to provide Carrick with the money he might need to bolster other areas, so leaving is not completely out of the question.
Van den Berg’s preference for Boro over teams like AC Milan and Dortmund, however, shows how he wants to play every week, therefore it’s unlikely that he will push for a transfer unless he receives assurances of playing time—something that will be difficult for any top-tier team to do.
