Premier League title winner Chris Sutton says Leeds United striker Patrick Bamford deserves an England call.

Bamford struck in last night's victory over Crystal Palace.

Bamford's 12th Premier League goal of the season means only two English players - Tottenham's Harry Kane and Everton's Dominic Calvert-Lewin, both with 13 - have scored more goals than him.

"What a player he has been this season for Leeds," said former England striker Sutton on BBC Radio 5 Live.

"People doubted whether he could score goals at this level but he has done. I would give him a go for England. I really like him, he has proved a lot of people wrong this season."
