Gary Cahill is being backed to captain England

The Three Lions boss has rotated the armband since taking over from Sam Allardyce but is now set to name a permanent successor to the retired Wayne Rooney.

Tottenham striker Harry Kane is the favourite to be Southgate's choice as skipper, while Liverpool midfielder Jordan Henderson is also a leading contender.

But, according to former England international Carlton Palmer, the honour should go to Chelsea defender Cahill.
