Middlesbrough boss Gareth Southgate admits he is ready to let Tuncay Sanli leave the club as he prepares to meet with chairman Steve Gibson.

Southgate's side were, as expected, relegated at the weekend after suffering defeat at West Ham.

A number of Boro's squad now look set to depart the Riverside and Player of the Year Tuncay is expected to head the exodus.

Southgate admits that Tuncay - one of the few players to come out of the season with any credit - will be very hard to hang on to.

"We have to be realistic," said Southgate.

"Tuncay is an international player who is captain of his country. He has given everything right to the end, he's a very special person and he's been a pleasure to work with.

"I will have to sit down with him and see what he wants to do but it's obviously going to be very hard to keep him.

"He needs a stage on which to perform because he is that type of a character."





I know he has his fans on here but there is still no mention of any interest from us anywhere or a transfer fee

I think he would be a very good addition. He has speed and guile. Could end up as successful as Benny.

He could be a very useful squad player. can play in any of the front 4 positions.

but we will still need one more World-class player in a wide positions, who makes the most of the space there.

Yes he will not be the only signing but he will be relatively inexpensive so it could mean that we could land an expensive player.
