Declan Rice was the only English player nominated for #TheBest FIFA Men’s Player this year
Having taken charge of the England team back in 2016, Southgate has enjoyed success with the England national team. A World Cup semifinal appearance and a Euro final appearance is something Southgate can be proud of.
The 53-year old is linked with Aston Villa, Ranger and Norwich but the club he is favourite to join is Crystal Palace.
Southgate started his career at the Eagles, making 191 appearances and scoring 22 goals at Selhurst Park. He captained the team in early 90s.
Crystal Palace manager Roy Hodgson will leave his post at the end of the season after expiration of his contract, leaving the door open for Southgate to make a return.
SportsLens Head of News Lee Astley said: “Following the news that Gareth Southgate is considering leaving his role with England after the European Championship in Germany next summer – it’s no surprise to see his former club Crystal Palace priced as the favourites to snap him up. Southgate was formerly captain at Selhurst Park, and with Roy Hodgson’s contract set to expire next summer, a return to south London could seriously be on the cards.
Mason Greenwood will be included in EA Sports FC 24 when the game is released later this year.
