WILSON’S IN WITH ENGLAND SHOUT

-

CALLUM WILSON will carry on doing his talking on the pitch as he bids to gatecrash Gareth Southgate’s England plans.

The Bournemout­h striker’s 50th Cherries goal put Manchester United under the cosh before Jose Mourinho’s men hit back. Wilson (left) has scored seven times this season and must be a contender to make this month’s England squad for the USA and Croatia games. But he remains reluctant to bang his own drum and said: “I don’t want to talk my way into the squad, I want to play my way in.

“It’s a case of focusing game by game and improving my game, trying to become the finished article. I’m still only 26 and I’ve missed a lot of football through injuries – but I’m catching up now.”

Boss Eddie Howe said: “I’m sure Gareth and his team will be watching every player that’s English and doing well in the Premier League. Callum would definitely come into that bracket. “He’s a striker in form, confident at the moment, producing some good performanc­es for us – and that’s all he can do.”
