Leicester boss Brendan Rodgers believes Harvey Barnes can force his way into the England reckoning.
The in-form wideman is reportedly in the thoughts of Three Lions boss Gareth Southgate ahead of the Foxes’ trip to Wolves on Friday.
He said: “Any young player who is English and in the Premier League, I’m sure Gareth will be interested in.
“You see Harvey’s progression and development and he was outstanding against Chelsea, up against Reece James who is top-class young right back.
“Harvey’s getting better all time, you see his power and pace but his tactical ideas are getting better and he’s getting into areas where he looks like he will score.
“It’s so pleasing to see, he works hard, he’s a calm boy, very stable, very focused and will only get better.
“I’m sure if he keeps it up over the next number of months and years he’ll be very close to that squad.”
Meanwhile, Rodgers is already reportedly looking ahead to next season having been linked with Liverpool’s Adam Lallana.
Rodgers added: “Adam’s a fantastic player. Someone I brought into Liverpool and I’ve been aware of his talent since he was a young player at Southampton.
“He’s done brilliantly there and I’m sure he’ll be weighing up his options but for us we don’t need to speak about that now.
“We’ve spoken about transfers all January and we don’t need to talk about summer ones now but he’s a top class player.”
