Michail Antonio backs in-form Jarrod Bowen to get an England call-up... and claims his West Ham team-mate should have made Gareth Southgate's LAST squad because his 'stats' are better than rival players

West Ham’s Michail Antonio believes his team-mate Jarrod Bowen should have received a call-up to Gareth Southgate’s England squad.

The Jamaican not only believes that Bowen should get a call from Southgate for England’s next international fixtures in March, but that he deserved to be in the last squad because his stats are better than some of the players who were picked.

Bowen has been on fire for the Hammers this season and team-mate Antonio has been singing his praises in the latest episode of the BBC Footballers Football podcast.
