Middlesbrough have spent over £20m this summer in their bid to reach the Premier League:

Will Lankshear (£10m, Tottenham)

Max Arfsten (£5.6m, Columbus Crew)

Kyle Joseph (£4m, Hull)

Jeremy Sarmiento (£3.4m, Brighton)

Sebastian Berhalter (£1.65m, Vancouver Whitecaps)

“We lost some good players … But we’ve also got some very talented players in. I think that when we start the season, we’re going to be at a higher level. I think we have a higher potential in the players we have here, and that we’re going to have a stronger squad when we start the season.

Credit to the people above me, they have been doing a brilliant job. We will see if we add some more, which we hopefully will do.

We haven’t trained much this week because it was important to ensure the lads had the rest they needed so their bodies could recover, but we’re going up there to give the best account of ourselves.

It’s a fantastic experience to be over in America representing Wrexham, it really is, you almost have to see it to believe it. We’ve enjoyed that but now it’s full focus on the start of the season.
