Gary Lineker is reportedly set to welcome a refugee to live with him. The former Tottenham Hotspur striker, 59, has been critical of the government’s response to migrants attempting to cross the English Channel. Last month he described the response as “heartless and completely without empathy”. Now it has been reported former England footballer Mr Lineker is ready to offer a refugee a place to stay, but has no idea who he will be living with or where they will be from. According to the Mirror, Mr Lineker has been in touch with Refugees at Home about opening his home to a person who needs a place to live. He would need to be interviewed by the charity and agree to a home visit before his application was approved, the newspaper reported.
