Middlesbrough manager Aitor Karanka says Cristhian Stuani is capable of playing as a striker.

Stuani, although a striker by trade, has been used more often than not as a wide midfielder by Karanka, although the head coach is well aware of his potency.

Karanka said: "He prefers to play as a number nine, but I told him when I signed him which position he was going to play.

"But I know as a second striker or as a striker, his record has been really good, so for that reason I used him against Tottenham and for sure, I am going to use him again."
