Arsenal trio high but Man Utd pair nowhere as England virgin chances assessed under Southgate

Arsenal players Eddie Nketiah and Rob Holding compete

Gareth Southgate does not feel as though he has the Premier League options as England manager but there are some fine overlooked players from Arsenal down.

 

98) Junior Stanislas (Bournemouth)
Should probably rebrand as Senior Stanislas at 33. This does not get any better so back out now if you’re already shaking your head.

 

97) Steve Cook (Nottingham Forest)
The good news is that Steve Cook has already come to terms with it all, saying in October 2019 that: “It would be amazing if it were to happen. But if it doesn’t, it doesn’t. It wouldn’t change my thoughts about the game.”

 

96) Lewis O’Brien (Nottingham Forest)
Left in purgatory because of apparent Blackburn incompetence.

 

95) Divin Mubama (West Ham)
Whatever you say, West Ham.

 

94) Marc Albrighton (Leicester)
Starting to think it might never happen.

 

93) Sam Surridge (Nottingham Forest)
More bookings (four) than goals (three) in 650 first-team minutes for Nottingham Forest this season.

 

92) Ben Mee (Brentford)
Started alongside Jack Rodwell, Josh McEachran, James Vaughan and Nathan Delfouneso in his last appearance for an England team. His late red card in a 1-0 defeat to Italy U21s in February 2011 has been held against him for more than a decade. It’s time to let it go.

 

91) Adam Armstrong (Southampton)
Three goals in 47 Premier League games since joining Southampton for £15m.

 

90) Harry Toffolo (Nottingham Forest)
Six starts for Nottingham Forest in the Premier League, but none since October.

 

89) James Tomkins (Crystal Palace)
Caps for the U16s, U17s, U18s, U19s, U20s and U21s were converted to an appearance for Team GB in 2012 but that is as senior as things will get for Tomkins.

 

88) Aaron Wan-Bissaka (Man Utd)
It is probably time to make an appointment with DR Congo because Southgate wasn’t tempted by Aaron Wan-Bissaka when he looked like a glorious prospect so is hardly going to be persuaded by a Man Utd rotation option.

 

87) Jack Colback (Newcastle)
All aboard the Ginger Pirlo train.

 

86) Lewis Brunt (Leicester)
Honestly no idea whatsoever.

 

85) Josh Onomah (Fulham)
Fourteen Premier League minutes for Fulham. Forty-three Championship minutes for Preston since joining on a free in January.

 

84) Harvey White (Spurs)
Spurs might have hoped for a little more when shipping the 21-year-old midfielder out to Derby for a brief League One loan.

 

83) Joel Ward (Crystal Palace)
Will certainly find minutes easier to come by under Roy Hodgson but being a favourite…
