Burnley fullback Lowton backing Tarkowski for England World Cup call

Burnley fullback Matt Lowton says James Tarkowski deserves a place in England's World Cup squad.

Tarkowski and Jack Cork made their debuts against Germany and Italy respectively.

The 28-year-old said: "It's good for the England manager. We've got two goalkeepers here who are probably inside the top four or five in England. Corky has been tremendous for us all season and it's fully deserved."

Lowton believes Tarkowski should be considered for Gareth Southgate's World Cup squad.

"I think he should. I see how good he is. When he played [against Italy] he did really well and fit into what the manager wanted, passing out from the back and defending strongly," Lowton added.
