Tottenham winger Aaron Lennon is convinced his form warrants an
England recall.
Lennon said: “For the past few years people have spoken about
Theo (Walcott), Shaun Wright-Phillips and myself getting that
position on the right but none of us have done enough to seal it
yet.
“Now is the time, but it’s going to be difficult because Beckham
is still around. I want his place but as a young player I am still
happy he’s in the squad. Hopefully I can learn some things from
him.
“I am trying to improve all aspects of my game — crossing,
finishing, link-up play, everything. There are times when I rush my
final ball.
“Beckham’s movement off the ball and the way he reads the game
are obviously a lot better than mine. So just watching him and
learning is great and he offers little bits of advice that can only
improve me.”
