With so much already said about Will Lankshear's form this season, it's a little hard to know what to add as his goals tally accelerates at a rate of knots seldom seen in the second tier.

Comparisons to a young Harry Kane are understandable because of his time at Spurs and his willingness to progress his career in the EFL.

But Lankshear is more than finding his way - he's flourishing - and there's an aura about his presence in Middlesbrough's attack that's impossible to ignore.

His latest two goals came as the league leaders played with astute authority against Charlton, if not at their best, ahead of two away games in the coming week.

And they were good goals too - a clever clip over the goalkeeper for his first and a powerful accurate 20-yard effort for his second. Both goals labelled him as a supremely confident and agile striker.

Accuracy is the key word with the Boro number seven.

Lankshear appears to possess great positional sense and distinct awareness of where the goal is and what he needs to do with a particular attempt - the mark of all great strikers. There was little hesitation when presented with his two big chances on Saturday.

Fifteen goals in all competitions is an outstanding number to have reached before the end of October and Middlesbrough look to have quelled any concerns that they cannot be in this promotion race for the long haul.

They are exciting, creative and solid at the back - and in Lankshear they have a young Englishman surely destined to get senior international recognition in the not-too-distant future.
