Watford goalkeeper Foster: Deeney should already have England cap

Watford goalkeeper Ben Foster believes Troy Deeney deserves an England chance.

Foster has played for England eight times and thinks that if his captain was at a more fashionable club, things might be different.

"Yes, maybe an England call would have come by now, to be honest," Foster said. "But it has always been the way.

"For the likes of Troy and people like that, they just need to keep going and follow in the footsteps of people like Ricky Lambert, where they weren't really at a team like that but they still got a chance.

"I would pick him, he offers a different dimension. Like when Peter Crouch was in the team, he brought a different dimension at the time. That's what Troy's got."
