Southampton midfielder Oriol Romeu was delighted for Charlie Austin after his goal in their 1-1 draw with Arsenal.

The 28-year-old striker is in hot form, having scored his fourth goal in as many games in the 1-1 draw against Arsenal at St Mary's yesterday.

“Having a striker in that form is very good," said Romeu to the Daily Echo. “Charlie is a top striker and we have to just enjoy that and keep feeding him balls, creating more chances and we know he doesn't need much to score, so that's a great feeling."

Romeu wants to see the former QPR man get another chance on the international stage ahead of the World Cup finals in Russia next summer.

“I see him going there [to the England team], 100 per cent," said Romeu.

“He's a good striker. He has the ability to get to so many crosses or getting into the area, he's a clever footballer.

“He's ready to go and he's proved that. Every time he scores his chances. He's always a danger man."

Meanwhile, Saints boss Mauricio Pellegrino is backing Ryan Bertrand to make England's World Cup squad.

"Hopefully it will be possible because I think not just him but we have English players with quality that can help the national team," said Pellegrino.

“It is not a question for me. It will be good if they will represent England in a World Cup because that means they are playing well in Southampton but I expect the best for them in Southampton first of all and after the national team manager has to decide."
