Ollie Watkins

Sancho must have been amazing for Dortmund, but everytime I've seen him in an England or Man United shirt bow, he's been sub El Ghazi.

As his status is currently Man Ure, I guess Sancho is a shoe in for the England squad for the next 18 months or so, until he's sent on loan to a Norwich before an inevitable permanent transfer to an Everton.

As for Watkins, what a kick in the balls for in form Tammy Abraham.

Same here. It looks like a lot to pay for the new Wayne Routledge.

And Antonio at West Ham.

Doesn't Antonio play for Jamaica?

[JD]

Bad if he does, as he was born in Wandsworth and as far as I know up until last year he could have played for either country.

[ADVILLAFAN]

I think he's played for Jamaica.

Surprised at the Watkins call up - no goals so far this season, and not playing as well as last season when he did deserve his inclusion in the England squad

Southgate doesn't concern himself with trifling matters like form.

[Clark W Griswold]

I’m not surprised at all, he’s a cracking player and miles better than Bamford or Tammy. It’s early season and he’s only just back from injury, hopefully Mouthgate sees him as a good long term option so wants to get him involved now.

[Drummond]

He deserves it for his attitude and approach. No doubt that was what Southgate liked too.

I think that Antonio got fed up of waiting for the England call up that his form has deserved at various points

Southgate has a lot of praise for Watkins and would have him in before last internationals but was injured. GS respects  Watkins attitude and behaviour when he was so close to being in the squad in the summer.
I think both loyalty and respect has shown as Ollie himself made a strong impression so great to have that

And it's telling to that Dean Smith said  "The knee injury has been a frustration for him and us. We’ve had to modify his training a little bit but he knows how to get the best out of himself"

So OW only just working himself back back full fitness as well as becoming a father for the first time

Clearly Ollie is a class act.

I’m more surprised that he’s selected Kane. If form was related with the selection process.

[Risso]

Sancho's inclusion is the real head scratcher.
