Blackpool boss Ian Holloway is urging Matt Phillips to reject an approach from Scotland.
Holloway hopes that Phillips - who has Scottish grandparents - sets his sights on a Three Lions spot.
The Blackpool boss said: "I don't know how he feels - and I've got to be careful here because I've got lots of Scots in my camp.
"But I think he could play for England, without a shadow of a doubt."
