Middlesbrough's left legged winger, Stewart Downing.
Middlesbrough boss Gareth Southgate is adamant that the club will not sell winger Stewart Downing despite the increasing interest from rival club Tottenham.
The club has already turned down two offers for Downing, both from Tottenham, and Southgate is determined to keep the England international at the Riverside.
"We feel at this time of the year, he is such a talent, such an important player for us, there is no way of replacing him,” Southgate said.
"We feel we need to keep a player of Stewart's quality.
"He has been brilliant. He enjoys being at this football club, he wants it to work at this football club.
"He is frustrated about where we are in the league and obviously, another football club has unsettled him.
"But he gets out there and he trains and he works, and he wants to do well for this club.
"All the while he is here, he will give everything he has got, I have got absolutely no concerns about that at all."
