Gareth Southgate, England manager, has announced a 29-man squad for November’s fixtures against Iceland, Republic of Ireland and, Belgium.

English footballer Jaden Sancho is one stepcloser to signing a deal with the club. As per the recent reports,Borussia Dortmund has agreed with United on initial transfer fees. The Red Devils want to bring the English star to Old Trafford and has kept him the top target in the summer transfer window. They want to bring him to the club before the pre-season training but Dortmund has been stalling them behind by demanding £109 million for the player.

Euro 2021 should have begun by now but the unexpected entry of coronavirus virus has stalled the tournament to the next year. It will be taking place from June 11 to July 11 2021. These rescheduling of Euro can be a good thing for Gareth Southgate as he could have a better mode of players than the current team. The young English players also will be having an opportunity to impress Southgate with their game on the pitch.

Borussia Dortmund sporting director Michael Zorc has said that he is fairly relaxed over the future of Jadon Sancho at the club. The England international has been heavily tipped to seal a Premier League move during the summer and report have even claimed that Manchester United have agreed personal terms with the forward.

Aston Villa captain Jack Grealish believes he may struggle to make the England squad with his current playing position on the wing. The 24-year-old has stood out for the Villains in the Premier League this term with seven goals and six assists but most of those contributions have come from the left side of the attack.

In an interview covered by The Mirror, Grealish acknowledged that he has a tough job of commanding a regular role with the national team, given the likes of Raheem Sterling, Jadon Sancho and Marcus Rashford play out wide at the moment. He added that he would preferably favour a central midfield role, though he has rarely played in that position since the Villains return to the top-flight.

England international Declan Rice has indicated that he is content playing for West Ham United amid the recent speculation over his future. The 20-year-old has been widely linked with a big-money move to Manchester United and of late, there has been the gossip that the Red Devils may approach to land his signature at the turn of the year.

In a report covered by The Mirror, Rice indicated that he has more than four years remaining on his current deal with the Hammers and he is at the best place at the current point of time, he told: “I signed a five-year contract with West Ham last year, which will keep me at club till I’m 24, and for me this is the best place to be right now. I am playing for a manager who has given me my chance and played me week in week out. I’m improving every week and although I see all this speculation, I don’t really think about it too much. It’s all talk until something happens – and nothing has – so I’m just focused on West Ham, doing my best and making fans happy.”
