Retired footballer Gary Lineker believes that former England teammate Paul Gascoigne will be unable to find "peace".

Fears over the 45-year-old's state have emerged in the last few days after his agent Terry Baker insisted that the ex-midfielder needs 'immediate help' after reverting back to his alcoholic ways.

Lineker wrote on Twitter: "I can only hope he finds peace somehow, but fear those hopes may be forlorn."

Gascoigne, who currently lives in Bournemouth, has previously battled with alcohol and drug abuse.
