Wolves, Leeds United, Burnley, Brighton, Southampton and Brentford are also named as potential suitors for the 11-cap England Under 21 starlet.
So far this season Fry – recently described as ‘outstanding’ by Chris Wilder – has earned a 7.04 average Sofascore rating in 19 Championship outings.
READ WEST HAM VERDICT
Valued at £5.4million and under contract at the Riverside Stadium until 2023 (Transfermarkt), Boro’ may need to cash in on their man at the end of the season.
Currently sat one place outside the playoffs in the second tier, perhaps the only way of keeping their key man would be by earning promotion to the top-flight.
Powerful in the air and boasting 194 career appearances, Fry represents the ideal balance between youth and experience to bolster David Moyes’ options as well as adding to the homegrown requirements.
