Southgate said: “I’ve spoken to Stewart while he’s been away and he’s been enjoying his time with the national team.

“I want to try to help him make sure he gets more experiences like he’s had this summer.

“I’m not surprised there are clubs being linked with him. He’s a superb player.

World Cup star to Spurs?

Spurs are apparently set to make an offer for South Korean World Cup striker Ahn Jung-Hwan.

Scottish club Hearts has already expressed an interest in the striker who has European experience and would offer good value for the price to attain his services.

Hwan's agent said: "I've spoken with Valdas (Hearts boss) and he said he will tell Romanov that he wants Ahn. "I told him I need an answer. I said, 'Don't wait too long or it will be too late'. "

They have to give an answer in the next couple of days because the clubs in the Premiership who want Ahn have given us a deadline of this weekend. "Valdas assures me he has a strong interest in the player but it seems the communication there is not so good."

Judas leaves Arsenal

Arsenal defender Sol Campbell has officially left Arsenal Football club.

Tottenham + Arsenal target is interested in England

France World Cup star Franck Ribery has told reporters that he would welcome a move to England to play in the Premiership.

The talented 23-year old flanker told the Sunday Mirror: 'I'd love to play for a big club in England - and nothing would be more ideal than to be with a French coach,''

''But this is not the time to speak about my future. I have the World Cup and that is bigger than anything in my life right now.''
