Hodgson will allow Southampton pair to negotiate their next moves

England coach Roy Hodgson is willing to release his players to negotiate transfers.

Liverpool want to snap up Southampton captain Adam Lallana for £20m while teammate Luke Shaw is set to join Louis Van Gaal at Manchester United.

Hodgson said: "My message is very clear.

"We are England and when we are together that is all that matters.

"As far as I am concerned any activities regarding transfers have to be done outside the training camp.

"I can't stop possible phone calls between agents and players but as far as anything else is concerned, it has to happen outside our time because we are England."
