Newcastle's Tino Livramento plays down questions of allegiance switch after Scotland admitted they are keeping tabs on the England Under-21 starlet as he finds his feet after summer move

Tino Livramento insisted he will not rush any decision over his international allegiance after Scotland talked up the idea of poaching the Newcastle defender.

Steve Clarke’s assistant John Carver confirmed that Livramento is on their radar, while former full back Alan Hutton claimed his country are ‘looking at’ convincing the ex-Southampton academy graduate to switch away from England.

Livramento, also eligible for Portugal, has linked up with England’s Under 21s ahead of two European Championship qualifiers, starting in Serbia on Saturday.

‘There's no rush to make any decision. I'm really happy with where I am now,’ Livramento said.
