Eze can earn England call, says Ferdinand

QPR star Ebere Eze could force his way into the England side, according to Les Ferdinand.

Tottenham are among clubs to have been linked with Eze, while Crystal Palace have shown an interest. 

And QPR director of football Ferdinand told Sky Sports News he believes Eze could earn an England call-up if he maintains his outstanding form.

Eze has impressed for Rangers, who expect the England Under-21 international to attract interest from Premier League clubs this summer.

It seems a question of when rather than if Eze will move on.

Ferdinand said: “A lot of the time you need to be in the Premier League (to play for England) to be recognised.

“But he has shown the kind of form and, if he continues to develop in the way he is developing and keeps showing the type of football he has been playing, he is certainly going to put himself in the frame.

“People are going to start talking about him playing for England.

“He came through and we have got a few others at the club too.

“Bright Osayi-Samuel is doing extremely well, as is Ryan Manning at left-back – he’s not English but he is in the Ireland set-up.

“We have got a few young players coming through the system now who we are really excited about.”
