Tottenham boss Harry Redknapp says Michael Dawson must be considered for the World Cup.
With Spurs in the semi-final of the FA Cup and chasing fourth place in the Premier League, Dawson's claims may soon be hard to ignore.
Redknapp said: "Michael is having the most fantastic season. If you're looking for a central defender to play for England or be in the squad, you won't do any better than him.
"England have a couple of great central defenders in Rio Ferdinand and John Terry, but in Michael and Ledley King we have a couple of great centre-halves here. I'm sure those two lads have a big chance."
