Aynsley Pears

Pears

Another English Championship shot-stopper but the Middlesbrough star is a lot younger at 22 years of age. He is available on a free transfer this summer, as things stand, with the Boro academy graduate having not signed a contract renewal.

Neil Lennon first brought in Forster on loan from Newcastle when he was only 22 back in 2010, and signing Pears could be seen as a similar investment for the future.
