Howe has emerged as the top candidate for the Three Lions job following Gareth Southgate's departure earlier this summer.

The FA have ended interest in Newcastle United manager Eddie Howe as they seek a new England manager.AdvertisementAdvertisement

But talkSPORT says Howe will not take over England - as he is considered too expensive by the FA.

It is expected to cost around £5m to buy Howe out of his contract at Newcastle. 

In addition, Howe is also expected to demand a higher salary than what Southgate had - and thus as an option a move is now out of the question.
