Ex-Leicester striker Phillips: Vardy must start for England at Euros

Sunderland legend Kevin Phillips says Leicester City striker Jamie Vardy should start for England at the Euros.

Phillips played with Vardy at Leicester.

He wrote for the Daily Mail: "Even if Jamie Vardy only gets five or six more goals up until the end of the season, he should still be on the plane to France for Euro 2016 because he offers something we haven't got in the England squad. He has raw pace.

"Daniel Sturridge and Danny Welbeck have injury problems and Wayne Rooney is experiencing a loss of form at the moment. Harry Kane is bang in form, but so is Jamie.

"If he does keep up this form, he can expect not just to be on the plane but starting for England, in my opinion."
