Southgate will buy goalkeeper

Middlesbrough manager Gareth Southgate has hinted that he will be buying a goalkeeper this summer. The departure of Mark Schwarzer leaves Boro a little light in the goalkeeping department.

  • Chelsea ready to sell four home-grown players
  • Predicted Chelsea line-up (4-2-3-1) vs Aston Villa, Palmer starts

  • "I don't see anything around that would be proven at this level without paying a lot of money and if we're going to sign someone who's unproven at this level then I think our two would be a match for anybody," Southgate told the club’s official website.



    "We offered Mark a new contract because we felt that his experience would be a help around the place.



    "But all the time we were very conscious that we have got two very good young goalkeepers who need an opportunity.



    "There may be a need to take a goalkeeper just for training purposes.



    "We have Jason Steele coming through as well. But I feel Brad and Ross need a chance. I will be talking to them."
