Nigerian striker obtains work permitNigerian striker Yakubu Aiyegbeni has been successful in obtaining a work permit to sign for Middlesbrough.
The former Portsmouth front-man was initially denied the required paperwork to complete his move after failing to appear in 75 percent of his country's games during the past two years.
However, an independent panel sanctioned a work permit for the 23-year-old after hearing Boro's case in Sheffield.
