Mido, Afonso Alves and Tuncay Sanli are up for sale ... but there are still no takers.

Gareth Southgate: “A target man is one of the things we have earmarked.

“We need a physical presence up front and have a couple of players in mind. We have several targets in place, but at this moment in time we have five strikers at the club. We can’t just go and sign people until other players have moved on.

“It’s frustrating for me as the manager because you’re trying to plan ahead and you would like to sign all the players you’re going to bring in three weeks before the season.

But I don’t think we’ll be the only club who are not in a position to do that.”
