Jamie Carragher has claimed Dele Alli has surpassed Ross Barkley and should be starting for England heading into Euro 2016 following another dazzling display from the Tottenham youngster.

Alli struck a sensational first half equaliser for Spurs and was highly influential as the north London side secured a 1-1 draw away at Everton in a strong Premier League performance at Goodison Park.

Sportsmail's Carragher was full of praise for the 19-year-old, who he claims could provide the support in an attacking front three for the Three Lions.

'You think about his performance and his goal against France. Now I expect him to be in the England squad, I actually think now he’s in the team,' Carragher told Sky Sports.

'I think Roy [Hodgson] and Gary [Neville] they play three in there. The one who has been playing regularly Ross Barkley, Dele Alli has surpassed Ross today.

'Now I’m a big fan of Barkley but they might be the two who are fighting for one position, that attacking midfield role, if they play three in there.

'The way he’s performed in the France game, the goal he got you would have to say it’s up to someone else now to take that position off him.'

Tottenham signed Alli from MK Dons for £5million in the last January transfer window, but the 19-year-old only joined up with the squad in the summer before quickly forcing his way into the team at the start of the campaign.

Since then Alli has become a key player in Mauricio Pochettino's plans, with Carragher also impressed with the Spurs star's understanding of different roles in the midfield.

'I think there’s always a player who comes on sort of late in terms of the international squad I think he’s certainly one of them,' the former Liverpool defender added.

'Every time you talk about Spurs you think he’s been one of the best players.

'Initially he has been a central midfielder, he’s come into the Premier League and played there a couple of weeks, then he’s come into the position behind the front two.

'That’s a totally different position really, you’re playing with your back to goal at time, other times you’re facing the play so that just shows his understanding at such a young age to play different roles.'

Alli already has four caps for England, scoring on his one and only start against France back in November at Wembley.

The Tottenham midfielder has already picked up caps as a substitute against Estonia, Lithuania and Spain.
