Ex-Tottenham boss Redknapp questions 'bizarre' England selections

Former Tottenham manager Harry Redknapp believes it is far too easy for players to make Gareth Southgate's England squad.

Southgate recently called up teenagers Jadon Sancho and Mason Mount for fixtures against Croatia and Spain.

Redknapp told talkSPORT: "It's good to stick the kids in, but they've got to be up to it, they've got to be playing regularly for their club.

"Years ago, you had to be a top, top player every week for your club to get in the England team.

"But now, you don't even have to be in your club team on a regular basis to play for your country.

"It's quite bizarre really how it's changed."
