Leicester City centre-back Harry Maguire feels as though he's in the best form of his career.

The 24-year-old was called up to the England squad for their upcoming friendlies against the Netherlands and Italy.

And with veterans Gary Cahill, Chris Smalling and Michael Keane not picked by Gareth Southgate, Maguire has the opportunity to build trust with his manager.

"You see there are good players who did not make the squad, especially in our position at the moment," Maguire said.

"There are a number of players who he could select from. You have seen that from him bringing James Tarkowski and Alfie Mawson into the squad.

"It is a position that is up for grabs."

Asked if he is in the form of his life, Maguire said: "Yes I would say so. Obviously last year I broke into the Hull side and played in the Premier League.

"I felt like I held my own last year but this year I really feel like I have stepped on. Learning off great players around has improved my game all around."
