Who is the best English forward currently?

Callum Wilson

Wilson has been stellar for Bournemouth in the last few seasons

Caps: 0

Rating: 6/10

With no caps for the national team and just one appearance made for England U21s, Wilson certainly isn’t up for national selection any time soon, but that’s not to say he doesn’t have the potential to be considered one of the best English frontmen plying his trade in the Premier League at present.

The 25-year-old was Bournemouth’s top scorer with 20 league goals in their historic promotion to the top flight in the 2014/15 season and looked like an especially bright prospect following his hat-trick against West Ham in the early stages of the following season.

They would be among very few top flight goals that Wilson would score, however, after the rupture of an anterior cruciate ligament in his right knee sidelined him for half a year.

He made his return last April and increased his tally of goals with the Cherries to 31 before picking up the same injury in his other knee last month. Wilson is still relatively young, speedy and capable of playing off a bigger target man, so could yet be an important player for the Three Lions in the future.

Firstly, though, he must focus on getting game time with his club.
