REVEALED: Anthony Gordon could gatecrash England's World Cup squad, with Gareth Southgate set to keep an eye on the Everton star in the coming weeks after impressive performances for U21s

Gareth Southgate is set to pay particular attention to Anthony Gordon's performances over the next three weeks ahead of England's squad announcement.

The Everton winger is understood to be one youngster being monitored closely before the World Cup after consistently strong displays in the Premier League and for Lee Carsley's Under 21s.

Southgate will reveal his 26-man group later this month and Gordon did his chances no harm on Tuesday night when assisting Conor Gallagher's winner for the Under 21s against Germany.

'If I didn't have the ambition to play for England in the World Cup then I would be a bit stupid,' Gordon said.
