In their recent pre-season friendly at Gateshead Jonny Howson filled in at right-back, highlighting the Tesssiders’ lack of options at the back. With less than a month to go until the window slams shut, we’ve identified nine Championship full-backs who could be available this summer. Flick through our gallery to see the full list:
1. Kristian Pedersen (Birmingham)
Pedersen was Garry Monk's first signing at St Andrew's in 2018 and went on to have a successful first season with Birmingham. The left-back, 24, signed a four-year deal with the Blues last summer but could be tempted away following Monk's departure. Photo: Alex Davidson
2. Anfernee Dijksteel (Charlton)
Boro have already been linked with the Charlton right-back this summer after Dijksteel, 22, helped the Addicks win promotion to the Championship last season. The defender has just one year left on his contract. Photo: James Chance
3. Darnell Fisher (Preston)
Fisher, 24, has been Preston's first-choice right-back for the last two seasons in the Championship, after joining the club from Rotherham in 2017. The full-back likes to get forward and chipped in with five assists last season. Photo: Nathan Stirk
4. Tendayi Darikwa (Nottingham Forest)
There's much uncertainty at Nottingham Forest following a change of management last month. Darikwa, 27, is a proven operator at Championship level following spells at Forest and Burnley. Photo: Laurence Griffiths
