Chris Sutton believes that Chelsea striker Tammy Abraham should be in contention to make Gareth Southgate’s England squad.
The 21-year-old opened his Blues account with an impressive double for Chelsea in their 3-2 win over Norwich City as manager Frank Lampard was rewarded for showing faith in the youngster.
Sutton was impressed by the forward who spent the second half of the campaign out on loan in the Championship at Aston Villa.
And the former striker thinks that Abraham can challenge Callum Wilson to feature for the Three Lions again.
Speaking on BBC Radio 5 Live’s Monday Night Club, Sutton explained: “I thought Chelsea were very good.
"You talk about England and I think the interesting one is Tammy Abraham. I know it’s early days but I thought he was very good.
" When you think of England strikers you’d say shoe-in Rashford and Kane but then you start to think.
"Could Abraham push Callum Wilson? Yeah, I think he could. Frank Lampard seems to have great faith in Abraham, getting the nod over Giroud.
“I was impressed with Abraham at the weekend. It’s a big season for him and the fact that he has Frank’s backing, good mobility and no doubt he took both goals fantastically.”
