Gazza eyeing return to football as pundit on sport chat show

Former England international Paul Gascoigne, popularly known as Gazza, is reportedly eyeing a return to his beloved game, not as a footballer, but as a pundit on a sport chat show this month.

The troubled former midfielder, who is recovering from alcohol addiction, is reportedly aiming to join English comedian Russell Brand and ex-Arsenal striker Ian Wright on BT Sport's Matchday Live with Darren Fletcher and Robbie Savage.

Savage confirmed on Twitter that Gazza would be a guest when his former club Tottenham Hotspur face West Ham United on February 22, the Daily Star reported.

Last year the former Newcastle United ace was sectioned after a three-day drinking binge, the report added.
