And Southgate admits England are keeping tabs on the midfielder.<\/p>\n<p>\u2018We liked him and we do like him, we think he\u2019s a player that\u2019s doing really well,\u2019 said the England boss. \u2018He was called into their (Scotland\u2019s) squad earlier in the week and I don\u2019t know what the position is at the moment.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/i.dailymail.co.uk\/1s\/2023\/09\/10\/22\/75274191-0-image-a-62_1694381427087.jpg\" height=\"428\" width=\"634\"><\/p>\n<p>Gareth Southgate is interested in luring Elliot Anderson into a career with England<\/p>\n<p>&#8216;I saw he\u2019s pulled out. Let\u2019s see, that\u2019s something that John (McDermott, FA technical director) and others at our organisation will be picking up. He\u2019s definitely a player we like.\u2019<\/p>\n<p>However, Southgate has conceded that England have no chance of persuading Brighton striker Evan Ferguson to make the switch from Republic of Ireland.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>The 18-year-old needs just one more competitive cap for the Irish before he becomes ineligible for England under FIFA rules. Ferguson withdrew from the latest Republic squad, sparking suggestions that England were looking to pounce for the teenager.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/i.dailymail.co.uk\/1s\/2023\/09\/10\/22\/75274393-12502459-image-a-79_1694381933351.jpg\" height=\"428\" width=\"634\"><\/p>\n<p>Anderson, who was born in England with a Scottish grandmother, is eligible for either nation<\/p>\n<p>But Southgate added: \u2018He\u2019s made it clear he feels he was born in Ireland and he\u2019s represented them. He\u2019s a bloody good player. We have to respect him, I don\u2019t think he\u2019s given any inkling that would be any different.<\/p>\n<p>\u2018At the same time, we were looking at (Erling) Haaland and wishing that he might have been available as well! But we\u2019ve got a pretty good No 9 and we\u2019re very happy with him.<\/p>\n<p>Source: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailymail.co.uk\/sport\/football\/article-12502459\/England-hope-entice-Newcastle-midfielder-Elliot-Anderson-away-Scots-20-year-old-eligible-nation.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Read Full Article<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<div class=\"mh-excerpt\"><p>England hope to entice Newcastle midfielder Elliot Anderson away from Scots with 20-year-old still eligible for either nation Gareth Southgate is hoping that Elliot Anderson <a class=\"mh-excerpt-more\" href=\"https:\/\/sportstoft.com\/soccer\/england-hope-to-entice-elliot-anderson-away-from-scots\/\" title=\"England hope to entice Elliot Anderson away from Scots\">[&#8230;]<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":288292,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[19],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-288293","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-soccer"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v24.1 -
