We take a look at Doak’s goals for Middlesbrough in the Championship whilst on loan from Liverpool
Doak’s sale means Liverpool have now sold eight players this summer for a combined total of £227.6m, having spent £321m on new signings.
Sky Sports News reported earlier in the window that Doak was seeking regular first-team football this season.
It is understood Porto had made a bid for Doak earlier this summer, with Stuttgart, Bologna and Monaco among the other European clubs eyeing a move for the teenager.
A host of Premier League clubs, including Nottingham Forest, West Ham, Leeds, Everton and Wolves, were also interested in the Scotland international this summer.
Liverpool rejected bids of around £20m from Crystal Palace and Ipswich in the January transfer window.
Doak spent last season on loan at Middlesbrough, scoring three goals and adding seven assists in 24 Championship appearances before an injury in January cut his season short.
