Patrick Bamford is defying his critics, brimming with confidence (he even captains himself in his own Fantasy Football team!) and he's had more shots on target than England captain Harry Kane... so, does Leeds' in-form striker deserve a Three Lions call?

Patrick Bamford's 'dream' of earning an England call-up from Gareth Southgate could become a reality after a series of good performances have seen him grab the headlines in recent weeks.

Bamford made a flying start to the 2020-2021 Premier League season, scoring six goals in Leeds United's opening six games, before adding six more to reach a dozen on Monday night.

After finding the net yet again, which was his 100th career goal, the forward addressed the calls for him to be included in the England line-up, he said: 'It is good if you are getting talked about I guess but there are four or five strikers who have not really been involved with England before and they are doing well.
