Aidy Boothroyd believes Arsenal striker Eddie Nketiah could follow in the footsteps of Alan Shearer and Harry Kane and become a senior England star.
Nketiah is on the brink of surpassing Shearer and claiming the record as England Under 21s' all-time leading goalscorer.
The 21-year-old drew level with the mark of 13 set by Shearer and Francis Jeffers when he scored in last week's 3-3 European Championship qualifying draw in Andorra.
Shearer became senior England captain and scored 32 goals for the national side and Boothroyd believes comparisons with him, as well current skipper and frontline forward Kane, are valid.
