Everton manager Carlo Ancelotti believes Dominic Calvert-Lewin would be a worthy inclusion in England’s next squad, tipping the 22-year-old to become one of the country’s top forwards. Calvert-Lewin awaits a senior call-up but has played 17 times for England Under-21s, while he is enjoying his best season to date after taking his tally to 11 goals with the leveller in the 1-1 weekend draw at West Ham. With Tottenham striker Harry Kane expected to miss friendlies against Italy and Denmark at the back end of March with a hamstring injury, England boss Gareth Southgate may be forced to look at fresh options. And asked whether Calvert-Lewin is ready to make his senior bow for the national side, Ancelotti responded: “Of course he can play. He showed a lot of quality in the last game, he can play for England, no doubt about this. “England has fantastic strikers, he has to fight but he has the quality and possibility to be a great striker in England and for England. “Dominic is doing really well, he has to keep going, he is showing good qualities in this moment, his feeling in this period is really good.” However, Ancelotti pointed out Calvert-Lewin is already on England’s radar, adding: “I don’t have to tell Southgate to look at Dominic because he already did this. Southgate has his own right to decide.”

If he keeps scoring then Southgate can't ignore him.
