Gary Lineker has jokingly asked Newcastle United legend Alan Shearer whether he has any 'inside information' over a move for James Ward-Prowse. The Southampton playmaker is enjoying another fine season, and featured in the BBC's latest Match of the Day: Top 10 podcast on set-piece takers.
Ward-Prowse was included in Gareth Southgate's preliminary England Euro 2020 squad, only to be cut weeks before the tournament got under way. The 27-year-old later admitted the rejection was 'difficult to take', but started the Three Lions' recent friendly victory over Ivory Coast and remains in contention for a spot in this year's World Cup squad.
Lineker and Shearer were joined by former Manchester City defender Micah Richards to discuss the Southampton captain. The legendary Newcastle number nine feels the midfielder has a 'brilliant chance' of going to Qatar if he maintains his form from now until October.
