England U21 boss Pearce keen to check on Villa striker Delfouneso

England U21 boss Stuart Pearce is happy to call in Aston Villa striker Nathan Delfouneso for their clash with Greece.

Pearce also includes Victor Moses, the Wigan Athletic forward, in his squad for the first time.

"We just felt that Nathan has got a great commodity in his pace," Pearce said, ahead of the important clash on the road to the finals in Denmark next year.

"I've seen him play for the Under-19s and he can also play out wide as well as down the middle. And Victor has the ability to go past a player and be a match-winner, so between them they give us something different."
