Tottenham Hotspur defender Japhet Tanganga wants to make England’s Euros 2021 squad

Tottenham Hotspur defender Japhet Tanganga is hoping to make the England’s squad for the European Championship next year following the postponement of the tournament due to the outbreak of the coronavirus. The 21-year-old has forced his way into boss Jose Mourinho’s first-team plans during the second-half of the season, and has featured in 11 games across all competitions since making his Premier League debut against Liverpool in January. Tanganga’s versatility in defence has boosted his Tottenham chances, and he is hoping it can help him force his way into Gareth Southgate’s star-studded Three Lions squad ahead of the Euros.
