Hull City pair Sam Clucas and Harry Maguire are under consideration for an England call-up, Sportsmail can reveal.
We understand that Three Lions boss Gareth Southgate has sent scouts to check on the Tigers duo in recent weeks and has received positive reports.
Southgate watched Maguire over Christmas and could now arrange to take in another Hull fixture before the end of the season having been impressed by the emergence of Clucas since the turn of the year.
The 26-year-old has been outstanding in a holding-midfield role under new boss Marco Silva and Southgate is keen to explore his options in that position, evidenced by the recall for West Brom’s Jake Livermore, who left Hull in a £10m deal in January.
