Regarding the transfer to Boro, Alves has moved a stepped closer to a permanent switch, pleasing the Middlesbrough boss.
"As far as I am aware, there has been a ruling in Holland that he is not an Alkmaar player signed and sealed, so he is a player who is available on the transfer market," said Southgate.
