England boss Hodgson casting eye over Leicester midfielder Drinkwater

Roy Hodgson is considering handing Leicester City midfielder Danny Drinkwater a call-up to the England national team.

While the likes of Jamie Vardy and Riyad Mahrez have been widely lauded for Leicester's fine season so far, one can argue that Drinkwater has been equally important to the Foxes' successes as a holding midfielder alongside N'Golo Kante.

Drinkwater's fine performances have not gone unnoticed and now according to reports from the Daily Mail, it is believed that England manager Roy Hodgson is considering handing the 24-year-old former Manchester United man an opportunity in upcoming friendly matches against Germany and the Netherlands.

If Drinkwater does get his chance and takes it with both hands, he could be considered a bolter for the Three Lions' squad for Euro2016.
