If what you wanted for Christmas was Inter signing their own version of Jingle Bells , your wish has been granted!

With the Nerazzurri sitting top of Serie A, spirits are clearly high. Festive cheer must also be in abundant supply, with the likes of Mauro Icardi, Ivan Perisic and Borja Valero joining together for a rendition of Inter Bells .

Yuto Nagatomo and Eder may find themselves on the fringes of the side at San Siro, but they have been handed leading roles in the song by Luciano Spalletti, who can be seen conducting a choir of players in the video below.

Fans have been encouraged to attend Inter s final home match against Udinese on December 16 for a singalong with fellow supporters.

We re not sure it will be an all-time classic, but it s bound t…

Lauren James’ first-half strike ensured England made it two wins from two at the World Cup with a 1-0 win against Denmark.

Although the Lionesses are currently top of Group D, there is still plenty to play for in the group after a dramatic second half saw China beat Haiti 1-0 in the late kick-off.

Elsewhere Argentina salvaged a draw against South Africa with two late goals in Group G.

Here the PA news agency takes a look at today’s World Cup action.

James’ stunning sixth-minute strike gave the Lionesses a vital three points to maintain their 100 per cent record in Group D, but victory was overshadowed by an injury to Keira Walsh.

Harry Kane is back in Tottenham training, but head coach Nuno Espirito Santo could not confirm he will face Manchester City this weekend and is taking the striker s future day by day .

Kane has been pushing to leave Spurs and join City, their opening Premier League opponents, according to widespread reports.

The England captain returned late in pre-season following Euro 2020 and has had to quarantine, meaning his involvement in training was delayed.

Nuno had planned talks with Kane, which have now taken place, but the Tottenham boss was revealing little on Friday.

Harry joined the group today, Nuno told a pre-match news conference. He trained, we talked. Of course, it s a private conversation.

Everything is okay. He s preparing himself, like Bry…

England have appointed Chelsea number two Steve Holland as assistant manager to Gareth Southgate.

The 46-year-old will remain with Chelsea alongside his international duties until the end of the season, when he will become full-time with England.

Holland worked with Southgate when he was in charge of the country s Under-21 team from August 2013 and has been working with the senior side since the manager s promotion.

Southgate told the Football Association s official website: I am delighted to have Steve as my assistant manager.

We have worked very closely for three years and I have upmost respect for the way that he works, his professionalism and the detail of his preparation.

Our aim at the start was to encourage a young England team to play in…

Championship title favourites Derby County are on the verge of re-signing Jason Shackell from Burnley, .

The thirty-one year old spent the 2011/12 campaign with the Rams, before being sold to the Clarets for a fee of around £1.1m.

During three years at Turf Moor, Shackell racked up one hundred and thirty-six appearances in all competitions, scoring four goals and was named captain shortly after arriving at the club.

Derby, now managed by former Real Madrid and Paris Saint Germain coach Paul Clement, have been busy in the transfer market in the close season having agreed permanent deals for Tom Ince and Darren Bent, both of whom were on loan at the club during the second half of last season.

The East Midlands side have also signed Andreas Wiemann, Al…

Jose Mourinho was held in such high esteem by John Terry that the former Chelsea captain says would have left the pitch in a coffin for him .

Mourinho first joined Chelsea in 2004 and led the club to their first top-flight title in 50 years, successfully defending the Premier League in 2006 before adding a domestic cup double the following season.

Key to their triumphs was a solid spine including Petr Cech, Terry, Frank Lampard and Didier Drogba.

Mourinho returned after stints with Inter and Real Madrid and led Chelsea to a Premier League and EFL Cup double in 2014-15, with centre-back Terry still a key member of the squad.

Branislav Ivanovic celebrated what may well be a farewell goal in Chelsea s comfortable 4-0 home win over Brentford to help his side through to the FA Cup fifth round.

The 32-year-old has been heavily linked with a move to Zenit, which would bring to an end his nine-year stint at Stamford Bridge, but he netted the third on Saturday to offer a timely reminder of his quality.

Brazil international Willian opened the scoring with a curling free-kick early on as the Premier League leaders underlined the gulf in class against their second-tier visitors.

Pedro doubled the Blues advantage with a cool finish midway through the first half, with Brentford digging in to avoid further first-half punishment.

Despite showing a much higher tempo and more attacking i…

Brazil legend Marta and Orlando Pride are still hoping to reach the National Women s Soccer League (NWSL) play-offs after an underwhelming start to the season.

It has been a slow start to 2019 for Marc Skinner s Orlando, who have only collected one point from their opening six matches of the campaign.

Despite boasting Marta – regarded as the greatest female footballer of all time – United States sensation Alex Morgan and star Australia duo Alanna Kennedy and Emily van Egmond, Orlando are still searching for their first win of the season.

But Marta, who is preparing to leave for the Women s World Cup in France, is hopeful Orlando can salvage their season – the Pride are nine points adrift of the top four with 18 matches remaining.

Our aim is to be a…

Neymar would have to change sport if he is serious about stepping out from Lionel Messi s shadow, according to Thierry Henry.

The Brazilian stunned the footballing world in August by completing a record €222million switch from Barcelona to Paris Saint-Germain, amid speculation he sought individual acclaim away from the Camp Nou s regular headline act.

And Neymar has made a fine start to life at PSG, scoring 28 goals in 29 appearances across all competitions with Unai Emery s men seemingly set for a return to domestic dominance after seeing Monaco storm their way to Ligue 1 glory last season.

Neymar was a Champions League winner alongside Messi and Luis Suarez with Barca in 2015, but hopes of European success this time around hang in the balance after PSG s 3-1 …

Germany captain Manuel Neuer says it was important for his side to set an example again after winning each of their first three games under new head coach Hansi Flick.

Die Mannschaft eased to a 4-0 win over Iceland in Wednesday s World Cup qualifier to open up a four-point lead at the top of Group J with four matches to play.

That routine victory in Reykjavik followed on from wins over Liechtenstein and Armenia over the past week, with Flick s side scoring 12 goals and conceding none across that spell.

Flick is only the second Germany boss to win his first three games without conceding after Joachim Low, the man he succeeded following his nation s Euro 2020 last-16 exit to England.

On the back of a morale-boosting week for Germany, Neuer believes a marke…
