Huth is reportedly keen to return to the Premier League following Boro's relegation.
But it is a sad day when a player would turn down Boro to play for ... of all clubs ... Stoke City.

And Huth says he needs to be playing at the highest level because he is looking towards the World Cup in the summer playing for Germany.
