It's just five months until England kick off their Euro 2020 campaign. Gareth Southgate is firming up his squad, but every England squad has a late comer. Two years ago it was Trent Alexander-Arnold, two years earlier Marcus Rashford and most famously 22 years ago it was Michael Owen. Here we look at eight players still awaiting their first England call who could force their way in.

8. Jonjoe Kenny (Schalke)

The Everton right-back is benefiting from his loan spell with Schalke. Kenny has started every Bundesliga game of the season for David Wagner's team who currently sit fifth in the Bundesliga. His defensive work has improved whilst adding 2 assists and a goal with Schalke keen on making the move permanent.

For all Kenny's Bundesliga success, England have an embarrassment of riches at right-back with Alexander-Arnold, Kieran Trippier, Aaron Wan-Bissaka and Kyle Walker ahead of him in the queue.

7. Harvey Barnes (Leicester)

The Leicester winger has been hit and miss but 5 assists and a goal have been a handy contribution this season. Barnes is an exciting talent who can take players on and move defenders around.

Barnes could be a good option off the bench for England, but Jadon Sancho is a better one. England have other alternatives on the wing, so Barnes needs to show more consistency if he's to make a case.

6. Mason Greenwood (Manchester United)

Manchester United's thin resources in attack have pushed Greenwood up the Old Trafford pecking order sooner than expected, but the 18-year-old is making the most of his chance. So far this season he's bagged 9 goals from 27 all competition appearances and made his debut with England's Under 21s.

Assuming Harry Kane is fit England have 4 certain picks in attack, they require a second centre forward and one extra option out wide. Southgate likes players who offer versatility and Greenwood could fit across the entire frontline, he's not done enough yet but a strong finish to the season could see him in.

5. Kalvin Phillips (Leeds)

The defensive midfielder has been outstanding over the last two seasons under the tutelage of Marcelo Bielsa. Whilst he hasn't been tested at Premier League level he has managed to keep Mesut Ozil, Jack Grealish and Matheus Pereira in his back pocket and remains the outstanding player in the EFL.

Southgate is keeping tabs on Phillips, but there are risks with a Championship player. Southgate will want a screening midfielder in his squad with Declan Rice unconvincing in the role whilst Eric Dier and Fabian Delph are struggling for fitness and form, Phillips could get his chance in March.

4. Dwight McNeil (Burnley)

The Burnley winger's form has plateaued since the autumn but remains one of the Premier League's most promising young talents. 4 assists, a goal and an England Under 21 debut still make good reading for McNeil's season so far.

An attacking player with pace and creativity often makes for a successful late call up before a tournament. England don't have an out and out left footed winger, giving McNeil a possible niche in the squad, if his form is good enough.

3. Jack Grealish (Aston Villa)

Aston Villa's talisman remains pivotal to his side's survival hopes. He's notched 6 goals and 5 assists in the league and has a rare ability to unlock defences. Despite overlooking Grealish in November, Southgate sung the midfielder's praises hinting a first call was imminent.

The problem for Grealish is England are already blooding a pair of young number tens in Mason Mount and James Maddison. Despite struggling for games at Chelsea, Ross Barkley has matured into the England team through qualifying and will be difficult to dislodge.

2. Dominic Calvert-Lewin (Everton)

The Under 20 World Cup hero is impressing at Everton under Carlo Ancelotti. He's bagged 10 goals in all competition, 8 in the Premier League and has started to show the sharpness in the penalty area to go with his fine technical skill.

Southgate will take at least one maybe two centre forwards to back up the currently injured Harry Kane. Tammy Abraham is making a case after his impressive start to the season and Danny Ings must be close to a recall, but Calvert-Lewin looks a good bet to get his first call up in March.

1. Phil Foden (Manchester City)
