Hamza Choudhury should become the first British-Asian to get an England call-up.

That is the view of Michael Chopra.

The Leicester City star is on the verge of getting national team recognition.

He is impressing for Brendan Rodgers at Leicester. Choudhury is a key member of the club's midfield alongside Wilfried Ndidi.

And Chopra thinks the Bangladeshi-origin star can excel for his country too.

"If you look at the boy at Leicester, Choudhury, I think he is the only one at this moment in time who has got a chance [of earning an England call up in the near future]," Chopra told Sky Sports News.

"He's playing in the Premier League as a young boy but you've also got the boy at Swansea, Yan Dhanda.

"Whether they are good enough to play for the England national team is another thing because there is so much competition and there are so many good young English players.

"Hopefully an Asian player will come through and play for England at some stage but we still could be talking about it taking some time."
