JACK CORK

The former Chelsea and Southampton man has been superb in an otherwise dismal season for his Swansea City side and with them in danger of the drop it could give him an incentive to leave the Welsh side and make the move up the table to Boro.

The 27-year-old would be a waste should he decide to stay at Swansea, especially if they are to go down. It would be a smart deal for both club and player, as he is able to break up play before pushing forward. A deep-lying playmaker of this ilk would be a very good addition indeed.
