A new contract has been mooted for a man that has led the Three Lions to within touching distance of major international honours

Gareth Southgate has reiterated the need for a period of reflection to be taken in on the back of England's Euro 2020 final defeat to Italy, but he is hoping to lead the Three Lions at the 2022 World Cup.
