Colchester boss Paul Lambert has conceded that he looks set to lose the services of star man Mark Yeates this summer.

Middlesbrough are reported to be leading the chase for the 24-year-old, with Bristol City, Crystal Palace and Sheffield United all credited with an interest.

Former Spurs winger Yeates has one year left on his current deal with Colchester, but Lambert does not hold out much hope of using him in their League One campaign next term

I think he'd be a good signing.

If we're going for players at over-achieving "small" clubs, I'd like to see a cheeky bid for Mark Yeates at Colchester.

Right wing - Mark Yeates.

I mentioned Mark Yeates a while back. Think he'd be a great addition. Young, good pedigree, quick, got goals in him. I'm witchoo, DB.

Guess what, I'd like to see him at BL.

"But once I heard that Middlesbrough were in touch then there was only one place I wanted to go."

"The gaffer made it very clear how much he wanted me and that was a great feeling."

Barring injury or illness Yeates, who made a handful of appearances for Tottenham Hotspur after progressing through the ranks at White Hart Lane, is expected to face United when they travel to the north-east on August 8.
