Gary Cahill revealed he is determined to fight for his England career and prove he should be a part of new coach Sam Allardyce 's plans. The Chelsea defender believes Allardyce, who was named as Roy Hodgson's successor last week, is the right man for the post, but is not taking a place for granted. Cahill was in the England squad which failed to impress at Euro 2016 and were knocked out in humiliating fashion by Iceland at the last 16 stage. The 30-year-old, who was vice captain under Hodgson, is desperate to begin the next campaign for Chelsea strongly and secure an opportunity to add to his tally of 47 caps for the Three Lions "I am excited to be working under Sam.

Francesco Totti has taken aim at Gonzalo Higuain's big-money transfer from Napoli to Juventus.

Liverpool misfit wanted by Turkish champions
With Liverpool keen to get Mario Balotelli off their books, Turkish champions Besiktas will look to secure the Italian on a loan deal.
