Liverpool fullback Glen Johnson is convinced teammate Andy Carroll is making a successful late run for England's Euros squad.

Carroll has England fans excited about his performance in the FA Cup final on Saturday.

"I definitely think Andy has put himself in contention for the England squad," said Johnson.

"In the last few weeks, he has been fantastic. He is unplayable. Chelsea have two big centre halves and he has thrown them around. Andy looks like he is quicker and he is working a lot harder.

"You could see John Terry was petrified at times. Andy is a big lump but he's good on the ball and works very hard. He will scare a lot of defenders."
