Crystal Palace manager Roy Hodgson believes Eberechi Eze can play for England regularly.
The attacking midfielder was out of favor at Palace this season under Patrick Vieira.
After coming straight back into the team under interim boss Hodgson, Eze has been in outstanding form.
“The people watching for Gareth Southgate at the moment will be making their assessments and they don't need help from me on that subject," said Hodgson.
“If you are talking about a player's ambition, young as he is, a massive possibility to keep improving and doing well with every Premier League game he plays, if I was him, I would be saying I'm so good that I'm going to make that my ambition.
“The only way he will do that is by producing more of these performances and hoping that Gareth and (his assistant) Steve Holland watch him and come to the same conclusion that this is a guy who can help us out."
