England manager Gareth Southgate has verbally agreed a new contract with the FA which will see him remain in charge of the Three Lions until after the 2022 World Cup, according to reports.

The 48-year-old has been in negotiations with the FA over an extended stay after leading the Three Lions to the World Cup semi-finals in the summer.

And according to Sky Sports, he is expected to put pen to paper before the senior squad meet up at St George’s Park on Sunday evening.

It is understood the new deal will include a significant pay rise which will see him earn 50 per cent more than he did during England’s heroic World Cup campaign.

The FA could announce the deal on Thursday, when Southgate names his squad for October’s back-to-back Nations League away trips.

England will face Croatia behind closed doors in Rijeka on October 12, as the World Cup finalists complete a stadium ban handed down after having a swastika on their pitch in 2015.

Southgate’s men then travel on to Seville to take on Spain, who won 2-1 at Wembley in England’s first Nations League match last month.
