England play Holland at Wembley a week on Friday and face Italy, also at home, on Tuesday, March 27.

Gunners' manager Arsene Wenger fully expects his man to win a recall.

Wenger said: "The vibes I get are positive. I believe he has a good chance to be in there, but we have to leave that to Gareth Southgate. I have enough to do with my job."

Among the uncapped players looking to land call-ups are Callum Wilson, Glenn Murray and Ashley Barnes.
