James Ward-Prowse keen to break into England senior squad

James Ward-Prowse has reiterated his desire to make the step up to senior international level having once again missed out on a place in Roy Hodgson's squad.The Southampton midfielder has started half of his club's Premier League games this season and is currently Gareth Southgate's captain for the England Under-21s, but he is still waiting for his first senior call-up for the Three Lions.Hodgson has previously hinted that Ward-Prowse is in his future plans, and the 21-year-old believes that recent call-ups for the likes of Dele Alli and Eric Dier bode well for his own chances of breaking into the squad.

"I was made aware of [Hodgson's comments] and it was very nice to see but until I'm in the squad and playing for him and the first team I can't really settle on that," Ward-Prowse is quoted as saying by PA."It was nice to hear and it's added motivation that if I can keep my performance levels for club and country I'll make the step up. [Dier and Alli] are two good friends of mine, especially Eric, and they have been in fantastic form for Tottenham."They've deserved their call-up and it's inspiring and promising for me to know friends of mine and fellow team-mates are getting the opportunity.

 If I can replicate my form for Southampton and continue my progress for the Under-21s hopefully that will come."England Under-21s will take on Bosnia-Herzegovina U21s on Thursday before hosting Switzerland U21s on Monday.

Hull City Manager chides Tottenham's Jan Vertonghen following Spurs' 2-1 win

Following Spurs' 2-1 win over Hull City, City manager Steve Bruce lashed out at Tottenham's Jan Vertonghen for exaggerating to get Hull City's Ramirez Gaston red-carded. Bruce castigated such act as unhealthy for the Premier League. The Uruguayan midfielder Ramirez got the red card for kicking at Belgian Jan Vertonghen. Bruce argued his man only showed "petulance" when he was provoked by Jan. And such behaviour could not be regarded as "violent". The City went down when Tottenham's Harry Kane and Christian Eriksen found the net in the game's second half. Speaking with his news conference, Bruce said, "Ramirez has shown petulance. Vertonghen has had a little go at him, and Ramirez has flicked out. The law says it is a violent conduct. For me, it is an act of petulance -- it is not violent conduct." Via espn
