Will Lankshear keeps finding the net, and his head coach Kim Hellberg is lavishing praise while staying cautious on an England call-up.
Will Lankshear is making the kind of noise that selectors cannot ignore. The young forward keeps scoring, and the talk of an England call-up is getting louder by the week.
Head coach Kim Hellberg has been glowing about his player. He called Lankshear a "brilliant lad", a nod to the attitude and character that go with the goals.
When it comes to international honours, though, Hellberg is keeping his feet on the ground. He is not sure how Lankshear's England chances will play out, and he is not pushing the narrative. His focus stays on the work being done day to day.
That caution fits the moment. Goals are the one currency every national team boss respects, and Lankshear keeps adding to his. If the finishing continues, the question may soon shift from whether he gets the call to when.
