Watford captain Troy Deeney should be given an England call-up, his club manager Walter Mazzarri has claimed.
Uncapped Deeney, 28, who signed a new five-year deal in the summer, has scored in successive victories over West Ham and Manchester United.
Italian Mazzarri said: "Of course he is international level."
England manager Sam Allardyce will announce his squad later this week for the World Cup qualifiers against Malta and Slovenia.
Allardyce needs a replacement for Tottenham striker Harry Kane, who is facing a lengthy spell out after he injured his ankle this month.
