Fulham midfielder Tom Cairney to switch to England setup?

England manager Gareth Southgate is reportedly monitoring Fulham midfielder Tom Cairney, who currently plays for the Scotland national team.

The 27-year-old, who has never played in a competitive game for Scotland, is eligible to switch nationalities due to his mother's heritage.

According to The Sun, Cairney is one of several players that Southgate is looking to tempt into joining the Three Lions setup.

The report adds that West Ham United midfielder Declan Rice is also being tracked by the England coaching staff after impressing in the early stages of the Premier League season.

Rice has played three times for Martin O'Neill's Republic of Ireland senior team but none has been in a competitive fixture.
