Burnley saw an offer for the attacker turned down, but have remained interested, while Scott Parker a firm admirer of what he brings to the table.

Now, where Burnley failed, Middlesbrough have succeeded and Plymouth have accepted an improved offer for Whittaker.

Their first offer was of £4m plus add-ons, but they have had to increase the up front cash amount to get an offer accepted.

Carrick will hope that Whittaker can be a difference maker when it comes to pushing Middlesbrough towards promotion this season.

All eyes will be on whether Burnley come in with a late hijack attempt now it is clear just how much they would have to pay to land him.
