Since the last international break, no player has scored more Premier League goals than Watkins’ nine.<\/p>\n

Manchester City<\/a>‘s Erling Haaland is second on that list with seven, while Nottingham Forest<\/a>‘s Morgan Gibbs-White is the next best English player on five.<\/p>\n

But, while Watkins may well be arguably England’s most in-form striker heading into the World Cup, realistically the spot everyone is vying for is the number one back-up position to captain Kane.<\/p>\n

Ivan Toney has been in prolific form all season for Al-Ahli but playing in the Saudi Pro League means his numbers are difficult to directly compare with the other contenders.<\/p>\n

Of the rest, Watkins’ 19 goals in all competitions puts him five ahead of both Dominic Calvert-Lewin, who returned to the England fold after a five-year exile in March, and Danny Welbeck, whose last cap was in 2018.<\/p>\n

“He’s got to be on the plane,” former Villa midfielder Lee Hendrie said on Sky Sports when asked about Watkins’ chances of being included this summer. “Since being left out we’ve just seen a massive turning of the corner.<\/p>\n

“He’s been relentless in front of goal, he’s shown his capabilities. He’s a totally different player to Harry Kane and gives them something different.”<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
