Gareth Southgate is giving serious consideration to handing Phil Foden a first England call-up this month.
The teenager shone in front of England assistant Steve Holland at Wembley as Manchester City lifted a third consecutive Carabao Cup title on Sunday.
Southgate, who had opted to watch Everton’s draw with Manchester United instead, has been debating including Foden for some time.
A lack of regular starts for City’s meant that has not yet come to fruition but England may find it hard to ignore their Under 21 star’s continued progression.
The Three Lions face Italy and Denmark in two home friendlies over the next international break and Foden could yet become a wildcard option for the summer European Championship.

Foden is yet to have a bad match in City coulours whenever he started. He was the major reason why England lifted an international trophy after like 50 years. He has exceptional for the U21s. If you haven't seen him play watch his last match for U21s where he was brilliant even scoring a wonderful freekick. Foden deserves a callup
