England U21 boss Gareth Southgate is happy for Southampton fullback Luke Shaw's promotion to the senior squad.

Southgate feels it is important for his players' belief that they see some of their under-21s colleagues take what is the intended "pathway".

"We want that pathway to be there and it is great for the other boys in the squad to see that we have that close link with Roy (Hodgson) and that he is looking at them in the matches," said Southgate.
