Leeds United's on-loan central defender Ugo Ehiogu has hinted that he could be tempted to extend his initial one-month stay at Elland Road.
The veteran centre-half decided to join the Championship strugglers earlier in the month after seeing his Premiership opportunities at Middlesbrough become limited.
But although claiming he still wants to play in the top-flight, Ehiogu could extend his stay with the West Yorkshire club.
"Do I have a future at Middlesbrough? At the present moment it's looking unlikely because of the number of centre-halves they have there," he told the Northern Echo.
"But you never know in football. There can be so many swings and turns, you can't rule out anything.
"I'm certainly open-minded, but my aim is to get back playing in the top-flight.
"I'm not at a crossroads but, if something came up and appealed to me, and it was alright with Middlesbrough, it's something I'd have to have a look at."
