Gary Lineker has revealed he is will have a second refugee stay in his £4million home after taking one in from Pakistan last year.
Former England football star, at 59, stated that he learned a lot by offering a home for refugees to his Surrey house.
At the moment, he is finalizing paperwork with refugee charities and will shortly take in another Balochistani citizen.

He told The Sun that he could not comprehend the attack on him for helping people bombed and jumping onto dinghies to save their lives because they are so desperate.
“How can one have empathy and compassion for the poorest of people?
He stated, “It was not a one-off event like public perception implied.”
“It is real. It was a great experience. I gained a lot from it.
Over 17,085 individuals had traveled across dangerous waters to reach the English Channel this year. Pictured: A group of people thought to be migrants are brought in to Dover, Kent, by Border Force officers, following a small boat incident in the Channel
After being discovered crossing the Channel, a group of migrants was brought to Dover.
Lineker welcomed law student Rasheed into his Surrey home through the charity Refugees At Home in August, after he was criticised for ‘virtue signalling’ when he publicised the plight of migrants.
The youngster was from the mountainous Balochistan region that straddles Pakistan and Iran and lived with the former England and Leicester star for 20 days while studying a law course.
A new role was created: Gary resigned as a presenter for BT Sport’s Champions League coverage earlier this year and took a job on Spain’s La Liga English language channel.
Rasheed is from Balochistan in the mountains, which borders Iran and England. While studying law, Rasheed lived 20 days with him. Pictured is the note that he wrote to Lineker in October

Next year, the Match of the Day host and BBC correspondent will co-host BBC coverage of the FIFA World Cup in Qatar. This country has a terrible record of human rights violations.
There have been many reports that in recent weeks, women were forced to consent to men’s life decisions if they wanted to study or marry. However, victims of rape are eligible for seven year sentences outside of marriage.
If they look gay, the country sends them to jail.
Lineker was accused by some of hypocrisy for covering the event, as other stars such as David Beckham were hounded for taking £150million to be an ambassador for Qatar for a decade.
Lineker claimed that no matter how much a middle east country pays him, he will not work for them.
He will still continue to cover the competitors.
Lineker took in a refugee for the first time, and Rasheed, a refugee, said that he will never forget his kindness, love, and support.
