Manu Pogatetz has hailed the emergence of teammate David Wheater at Middlesbrough this season.
The Austria international told the Daily Mail: "I'm so pleased for him. He's a hard working lad and you can see that the loans have done him well. He's scoring goals, playing well and defending well at the other end.
"He can become a very good player. I've not seen many better or more consistent at his age. If he was playing like this for Chelsea or Liverpool at the moment, people would be saying he should play for England."
