  1. Kane for Englandpublished at 10:16 Greenwich Mean Time 8 February 2015

    Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger may have been on the losing side after Harry's Kane's double for Tottenham but he came up with a nice take on whether England manager Roy Hodgson should pick the striker for his next squad.

    Hodgson was in attendance at White Hart Lane as he continues his preparations for England's next European Championship qualifying fixture against Lithuania on 27 March, before a friendly against Italy four days later.

    Kane has scored 22 goals in 34 matches this season and Wenger says: "When you have scored the number of goals he has scored, if you don't put him in there somebody else will give him a passport."

    It's no surprise the Tottenham striker Harry Kane's joyous face is dominating the back pages after his two goals in his side's derby win over Arsenal.

    The Independent also has an interview with West Brom's new signing Darren Fletcher,, external who joined the club from Manchester United on transfer deadline day.

    "You accept squad rotation and all these different things I had done over the years but when you are on the bench week upon week it does become difficult when you feel you have got so much to give," says Fletcher on his move.

    "I never shed a tear, no. Although I've been at United my whole life, I left Scotland to come to Manchester United and now I'm moving on to the next chapter."
