5 players who will make their England debuts soon

#5 Tammy Abraham

Tammy Abraham has been outstanding for Swansea thus far this season

For the current England squad, Gareth Southgate has called upon three young, uncapped stars, and arguably the brightest shining one right now is striker Tammy Abraham. Currently at Swansea on a season-long loan from Chelsea, Abraham has been the lone plus point of the Welsh side’s Premier League season thus far. Swansea have scored just seven league goals thus far and Abraham has been responsible for four of them whilst creating one too.

Most recently, the young striker was linked with a change in national representation – Abraham is eligible to play for Nigeria through his father, but after being watched closely by Southgate and representing England U21’s for a season, he’s chosen to pledge his future to the Three Lions. Judging by the talent he’s displayed thus far – excellent finishing instincts, a strong ability to hold up the ball, and impressive maturity for a young player – England fans should be extremely happy with his decision.

Could he get into the World Cup squad? If he continues to perform well for Swansea, I don’t see why not. Outside of Harry Kane, England aren’t blessed with many striking options – Jamie Vardy is a given, as is Marcus Rashford, although he’s been used more as an attacking midfielder lately – and with both Daniel Sturridge and Jermain Defoe not lighting up the Premier League, the time could be now for Tammy. I expect him to play a part in at least one of the games against Germany and Brazil to gain his first cap.
