Gareth Southgate is reportedly considering calling up a surprise uncapped player to his England squad for Euro 2024.
England will head into the tournament as one of the favourites to win, with Southgate blessed with a squad packed full of world-class talent.
Harry Kane, Jude Bellingham and Phil Foden are all in contention for the Ballon d'Or, while the likes of Declan Rice, Cole Palmer and Bukayo Saka are also in excellent form for their club sides.

Southgate's task of selecting a squad for Euro 2024 was made slightly easier earlier this month when UEFA voted to increase squads from 23 to 26 players for the tournament in Germany.
That has opened the door for several uncapped players to work their way into Southgate's plans in the final weeks of the campaign.
Liverpool's Harvey Elliott and Crystal Palace's Adam Wharton are two England U21 internationals who have been tipped to make the step up to the senior side in the near future.

Elliott scored a remarkable goal in Liverpool's 4-2 win over Tottenham on Sunday, while Wharton impressed in Crystal Palace's 4-0 drubbing of Manchester United on Monday.
However, it is another talented youngster who could get the nod from Southgate first.
TBR Football claim Aston Villa's Morgan Rogers is in contention to be called up to England's senior squad.
Rogers only joined Villa in January from Championship club Middlesbrough, who themselves had only signed him from Manchester City last summer.

The 21-year-old has made just 16 senior appearances for Villa, starting eight times in the Premier League, but has already made a big impact since joining the club.
Southgate is said to have been 'hugely impressed' by the forward and is considering calling him up for England's Euro 2024 squad.
England face Bosnia and Herzegovina (June 3) and Iceland (June 7) in their final warm-up matches ahead of the tournament in Germany.

They will then take on Serbia in their opening match on June 16 before further group games against Denmark (June 20) and Slovenia (June 25).
