Emile Heskey has set himself the target of an England recall after
making a rapid return to the Premiership as a Wigan player.
Emile Heskey has set himself the target of an England recall after
making a rapid return to the Premiership as a Wigan player.
It is two years since Heskey won the most recent of his 43 caps, as
substitute in a 2-1 defeat by France in the Euro 2004 group
stages.
But Heskey, who became Wigan's record capture at £5.5million after
leaving Coca-Cola Championship side Birmingham, insists he has
"never retired from England". "I still have ambitions to play for
England again because I know I can still bring something to the
game," Heskey told Wish FM.
He added: "Hopefully I can now play well for Wigan and push for an
England call-up."
Although Heskey suffered during Birmingham's relegation campaign
last term, scoring just five Premiership goals to take his tally to
16 in 78 appearances for the Blues, Jewell is adamant the former
Leicester and Liverpool striker will bring quality to the JJB
Stadium.
"There is not a more fearsome sight for a defender than Emile
Heskey coming towards you," enthused Jewell.
"I admit he didn't have a good season last season, but Emile is a
great signing for Wigan.
"If we can get him back to his best then there's no reason why he
cannot play for England again.
"He has all the attributes to be as good a centre forward in
England as anybody.
"He is quick, strong, powerful, good in the air and has an eye for
goal. I couldn't be more pleased about him. He has 40-odd England
caps to his name as it is, and I think he will be a sensation for
us."
Good luck Jewell.
