Women have been included in Fifa 16, the first time this has happened in the game's history...

"The girls play Fifa. When we are in the Euro qualifiers, if there is a console at St George's Park the girls play and fill a bit of time up. Lucy Bronze or Gemma Davison are probably the best, I think."

Everton are still coming to terms with the disappointment of their Capital One Cup semi-final defeat against Manchester City - so might struggling manager Roberto Martinez go into the transfer market before Monday's deadline to lift the spirits?

The word coming out of France is that the Toffees are showing an interest in Sporting Lisbon's Algerian forward Islam Slimani. The 27-year-old has attracted attention from around Europe with his fine form this season - scoring 20 goals in 29 games.

He has been rated in the £20m bracket, which may prove too rich for Everton's liking.

Everton have long been linked with Dynamo Kiev's Andriy Yarmolenko but he would command a fee in excess of £20m and it is unlikely the Ukrainians will sell while they are still in the Champions League.
