Meanwhile, BBC pundit Garth Crooks has been comparing the blistering Premier League start to the season made by Everton’s Dominic Calvert-Lewin, with that of Newcastle United top scorer Callum Wilson – both of whom are likely to be in Gareth Southgate’s mind for his next England squad.
Wilson has scored six Premier League goals in seven starts in black and white, equaling the total scoring by last season’s top scorer Jonjo Shelvey.
In his regular BBC column, Crooks said: "Dominic Calvert-Lewin has made it clear he can play in this league, and James Rodriguez's ability was never in doubt. While their performance against Newcastle was marginally better than their shocker at Southampton, they still look off the pace.

Calvert-Lewin tops the Premier League scoring charts alongside Son Heung-Min with eight goals.
