Middlesbrough boss Gareth Southgate admits he needs to add more experience to his squad.

He told the Evening Gazette: "We are monitoring things, and are looking to improve all areas. Despite the good youngsters we have we are looking at home and abroad to see if we can find players even better than those we have here.

"But any players we sign must come here to play good football and not for an easy ride. We want players with the right mentality as well as the necessary ability."
