Fulham boss Jokanovic: Deeney deserves England call

Fulham boss Slavisa Jokanovic says Watford striker Troy Deeney deserves an England call.

Deeney has been open about his frustrations on missing out on England selection, especially after boss Gareth Southgate vowed only to pick players featuring regularly for their clubs.

"He's strong and a big character, and sometimes it's not easy to deal with him," said Jokanovic.

"He has had a positive evolution in the last few years. Really he can be an option for the England national team.

"He had a great season when I worked him with, and his dedication is very high."
