#3 Todd Cantwell
Norwich’s Todd Cantwell only received his first call-up to England’s U21 squad in September, but after the way he’s been performing in the Premier League for the Canaries in recent weeks, there’s definitely an argument to suggest he deserves a spot in the senior side for the upcoming fixtures.
A lot of fans feel that the England squad should be based on form, and if that’s the case, it’s hard to ignore the 21-year-old.
Cantwell has played just 7 Premier League games but has already registered two goals and two assists, and most notably he’s a tremendous passer of the ball – with an 81% success rate and an average of 1.4 key passes per game.
Perhaps the biggest plus point for the youngster is the fact that he seems totally at home on the big stage. It’s never easy adjusting from a season in the Championship to Premier League action, but Cantwell has never looked overawed and arguably had his finest game against Norwich’s toughest opponents – champions Manchester City, who were upset in a 3-2 thriller that saw Cantwell find the net.
It’s true that England are blessed with a large number of top-class wide forwards and wingers right now – Raheem Sterling and Jadon Sancho are two of the hottest properties in European football – but Gareth Southgate has been known to reward form before, and to see Norwich’s tyro called into the squad – even if he isn’t capped – wouldn’t be too jaw-dropping.
