England call beckons for Crystal Palace youngster

Crystal Palace fullback Aaron Wan-Bissaka is set for an England call.

The Sun says England boss Gareth Southgate has checked out the exciting right-back THREE times in the last month.

He also sent Under-21 coach Aidy Boothroyd to meet Wan-Bissaka to assure the defender he is part of his plans.

And the 21-year-old is now in line for a senior squad place and a possible starting spot in the double-header with the Czech Republic and Montenegro next month.

Wan-Bissaka also qualifies for the DR Congo and played for their youth side before representing England at U20 and U21 level.

But he is keen to become a full international with the Three Lions and calling him up now would avoid repeating the losses of Victor Moses and Wan-Bissaka's fellow Eagle Wilfried Zaha.
