England coach Gareth Southgate is weighing up recalling West Brom striker Jay Rodriguez.

The Sun says Southgate is looking for attacking options as he prepares his group ahead of Russia 2018 - and Rodriguez is part of his thinking.

The West Brom forward has scored just one Premier League goal this season, but it is his all-round game that excites Southgate more.

With the Three Lions boss admitting he wants to play three at the back, he knows he needs players who are versatile and can play anywhere across the front line.

Rodriguez fits that profile, and is regarded as a player with a good footballing brain with the ability to link play and create.
