England World Cup squad: Jermain Defoe to go Russia 2018? Here's what fans think

Jermain Defoe scored his first goal for England since 2013, having been recently recalled to the international stage.

The 34-year-old striker put the Three Lions ahead against Lithuania in a 2-0 World Cup qualifier win and, coupled with his club form, there are calls for him to be part of the squad if they reach Russia 2018.

He has scored 14 Premier League goals this season for Sunderland and there are a few Newcastle fans who would probably take him off their rivals' hands if they are relegated and the Magpies are promoted.
