Newcastle United and England legend Alan Shearer says Tottenham striker Jermain Defoe deserves an England chance.
Shearer rates Defoe as an ideal strike-partner for Manchester United star Wayne Rooney.
He told The Sun: "It's worked with Emile Heskey so far so I can't see Capello changing that. But I think in Jermain Defoe he is a fantastic option if he wants to change that.
"I'm a big admirer of Defoe and the way he plays and scores. I'm just second-guessing but I'd assume he'd start with Heskey and Rooney because he's played that way and it's worked for him in the qualifiers."
