Sunderland captain Lee Cattermole is eyeing an England call.

The Journal says his performance against the millionaires of Manchester City came under the gaze of England scouts.

He said: "Well, I think I am playing well and if you get the nod you get the nod, don't you? I am never going to write it off.

"I believe in myself and I have done well for the under-21s in the past.

"Other people have progressed into the full squad in the past so it is something I am aiming to do."
