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.

Chelsea won't sign new players - Jose Mourinho

Chelsea will make no signings in the January transfer window, says manager Jose Mourinho. The team has enough capable and balanced players to even out in the coming competitions. The Blues have six matches before January 1, with the first starting today against Hull City. Mourinho plans to rest his senior players for this Yuletide season, saying he is doubtful any one player should appear in all the six matches. The manager has granted his European-based players a two-day 'holiday' to rest and 'have a nice dinner with their families'. The former Real Madrid manager's side meets Hull City in the Premier league today. Petr Cech will replace injured skipper goalkeeper Thibaut Courtois in the Hull City face-off. Cesc Fabregas is ruled out for suspension and midfielder Nemanja Matic joins the squad after ban.
