MIDDLESBROUGH will weigh up potential replacements before making a final decision on Anfernee Dijksteel, who is interesting several clubs.
Millwall have enquired about the possibility of a loan deal for Dijksteel - and the Lions aren't the only club to have contacted Boro.
The 28-year-old is entering the final six months of his contract on Teesside and his long-term future is uncertain.
He has featured in 18 Championship games so far this season but has missed the last three matches due to injury.

If Boro were able to land a replacement in the final days of the window, they wouldn't stand in the way of a move for Dijksteel.
Luke Ayling is Boro's other available senior right-back, with Tommy Smith still out injured. Smith's contract is due to expire at the end of the season and it's not clear at this stage when he'll be available to return from his Achilles injury.
Boro's priority between now and Monday is signing a centre-forward to replace Emmanuel Latte Lath, who is set to sign for Atlanta United. Boro had planned for the possibility of Latte Lath's exit this month and have lined up four potential replacements, including David Strelec.
