Phil Foden scored two second half goals to add to his assist for the opening goal scored by Hammers midfielder Declan Rice in the 20th minute of the game. His manager Gareth Southgate praised him in his post-match press conference after the game.

Since September, the young Manchester City star has now returned to the team, and the former right-back, Richard says he fully deserved another chance.

This is the second time Foden has been handed call-up, having made his national debut in September 2020 before he and Mason Greenwood were asked to leave after contravening the coronavirus procedure in Iceland.

Foden had already apologized for his altitude in Iceland, but Southgate didn't call up him and Greenwood for the international fixtures in October.

Former Premier League star Tim Sherwood has said that Jack Grealish must continue to work hard in order to break into the England setup. The attacking midfielder had an impressive season for Aston Villa in the Premier League as he contributed eight goals and six assists, but he was still ignored by manager Gareth Southgate.

Speaking to TalkSPORT, Sherwood urged Grealish to continue working hard on the playing field such that he can break into the Three Lions squad in the future, he told: “Jack, keep your nut down, work hard, and don’t sulk about it, I’m sure he won’t anyway. Just get back on the football, which is your best friend and hopefully… look, it might be injures that gives him his opportunity and once you get in there, I’m sure when Gareth sees him in close quarters he realises what a talent this boy is.

Leicester City manager Brendan Rodgers is hopeful that Ben Chilwell stays put with the club beyond the next transfer window. The England international has played a key part in the Foxes’ push for Champions League football this term and that has caught the eye of elite European sides including Chelsea and Manchester City.

Chelsea are deemed as the favourites to sign him, having already opened transfer negotiations but Rodgers remain optimistic that the left-back will remain with the east Midlands outfit next term, he told in a press conference: “All you can ever do is create an environment where players will feel they can improve and develop, and enjoy their football. But I also recognise players may well look beyond Leicester City.

Former Premier League defender Alex Bruce believes Callum Wilson could end up at Tottenham Hotspur next season. The England international has been a key contributor for Bournemouth over the years but he is expected to head through the exit door this summer after the south Coast outfit were relegated from the top-flight.

Spurs are one of the contenders to secure his signature and Bruce is not surprised with the transfer speculation, he told Football Insider: “He’s a good player, I’m sure there’s a number of Bournemouth players.

Tottenham striker Harry Kane is back on the team fit and ready to play. Before the suspension of football activity,Jose Mourinho's Tottenham has been on the verge of collapse. The team has been struggling a lot and this three-month break will be a blessing to them.
The players who were on the grip of injury have enough time to return to fitness. They have lost to Wolves and Chelsea on the Premier League.In the Champions League, they lost to RB Leipzig where they didn’t even score a goal in both the legs.

The club had most of its players on injury with Harry Kane suffering from a hamstring injury. Heung-min Son had a broken arm from February and Moussa Sissoko had undergone a surgery in prior a ligament injury in the knee. They all are back to fitness by the practice on three months back.

Former Tottenham Hotspur graduate Jamie O’Hara believes Harry Kane should stay put with the north London side for the long-term, even if they are unable to win any trophies. The England international has netted 181 goals over the past six years for Spurs but the club have still failed to win any form of silverware.

Kane recently admitted that he may consider a fresh challenge in the future, if the club are unable to deliver trophies but O’Hara feels the striker should remain with the capital outfit for the rest of his career and leave a legacy in the game. He added that there is no assurance of trophies with a move to Manchester United and Kane should stay put with Spurs to cement a legendary status.

Burnley defender James Tarkowski claims that he is very focused on getting his place in the England national team for the Euro 2021. The coronavirus pandemic has postponed the European Championship and this provides an opportunity for players, who are out of form and favour, to win a place back in the national team. This is one of the primary ambitions forTarkowski who has been unable to add to his national team appearances for a couple of years now. The defender has made two appearances for the national team, but he has not featured since September 2018.
