Gary Lineker urges Three Lions to ‘treasure’ Euro 2020 final
Gary Lineker has urged the England players to “treasure and enjoy” Sunday’s Euro 2020 final against Italy – but believes it is just the beginning and success will soon come even if they are beaten at Wembley. Gareth Southgate’s side are preparing for their first major tournament final in 55 years, something not even Lineker achieved during his time as a Three Lions player. The former Tottenham, Everton and Barcelona forward also praised the players for the showing a “shining social conscience” off the field which represents the “very best” of England. In an open letter to the England team in the Players’ Tribune, Lineker said: “I wish I was playing with you. This is the sort of occasion you dream about as a player. And honestly, it’s much less nerve-racking out on the pitch than in the sta...
Versatile 23-yr-old will be available for just £5m this summer, Newcastle and Celtic keen
Newcastle United and Celtic are keen on signing Tottenham Hotspur defender Cameron Carter-Vickers. According to Football Insider, the 23-year-old is set to leave the London club after failing to hold down a first-team berth over the last few seasons.

Careter-Vickers spent last season on loan with Bournemouth in the Championship, and he has admitted that he is open to returning to the south coast. However, Newcastle could be a more viable option, and Carter-Vickers would undoubtedly be a quality squad player for the Magpies. He can play as a centre-back and at full-back, and his versatility would be useful for Steve Bruce next seaso...
