Boro looking to reinvest

Middlesbrough are hoping to spend their cash windfall following the sale of left-back Joe Bennett to Aston Villa.

The England Under-21 international agreed a four-year deal with the Premier League club yesterday, which will bring Boro an initial £3m fee that could rise as high as £4.25m based on appearances.

There was also a sell-on clause included as part of the deal for the highly-rated 22-year-old who made 92 senior appearances and scored once for the Teessiders.

"I'm going to miss all the lads. They're a quality group and I hope they go far," Bennett told the Evening Gazette. "I'm sure they will get the club back where it belongs. I will never forget my time there and I wish them every success with their promotion push."

Manager Tony Mowbray was now expected to step up activity in the transfer market ahead of the window closing at 11pm tomorrow evening, particularly following the news that skipper Rhys Willians has been ruled out until the New Year with ankle ligament damage.
