Previously Southgate had expressed doubts over the likelihood of a deal, as the Brazilian had actually already signed an agreement with AZ Alkmaar and was working on wriggling himself out of the contract due to technicality.
Alkmaar refused to let him off the hook that easily but the latest word from the Boro camp suggest that there has been a positive breakthrough on this front as far as the Premiership side are concerned.
"We're still in talks with Heerenveen and we're hoping that within the next 24 hours we can conclude an agreement with them, and then of course there are things like work permits to get through," he told the club's official website.
Boro's goal-strarved fans will be anxiously waiting for the latest news on the negotiations for the player, who scored 35 goals in 31 appearances last season , including a sensational seven goal match in a league game against Heracles Almelo.
