Wait 5 sec.

Dominic Calvert-Lewin will offer Thomas Tuchel ‘something different’ at the World Cup.That is the view of talkSPORT’s Darren Ambrose as he backed calls for the Leeds United striker to receive an England re-call.AFPCalvert-Lewin offers ‘something different’ for England, according to Ambrose[/caption]Calvert-Lewin has not played for the Three Lions for over four years but is currently in record-breaking form for his club.The 28-year-old scored in his sixth consecutive Premier League appearance on Sunday with his goal against Sunderland.It is the first time the forward has done so as he took his tally for the season to eight.Calvert-Lewin is currently the highest-scoring Englishman in the Premier League ahead of next summer’s World Cup. Calvert-Lewin backed for World CupDiscussing his current form, Ambrose told The Final Word: “He’s got seven in his last six, but he has eight this season.“This purple [patch] he’s on at the moment is probably the best of Dominic Calvert-Lewin.“The Dominic Calvert-Lewin that got into that England side, the Dominic Calvert-Lewin that, in my opinion, should and could go to the World Cup.”Calvert-Lewin has four goals in 11 caps for England but has not been called up since Euro 2020.His last appearance for the Three Lions came in July 2021 against Ukraine in the quarter-finals of that tournament.However, Tuchel’s options up front appear lacking behind all-time leading scorer Harry Kane.GettyCalvert-Lewin has been tipped for an England return after seven goals in six matches[/caption]The England captain was the only recognised striker named in the most recent squad.Asked if there is a chance Calvert-Lewin goes to the World Cup, Ambrose added: “Yes, I certainly think there is.“If you look at the forwards that they have. Yes, Harry Kane is number one, he is number one, when he’s fit, he plays.“You’ve got Ollie Watkins, you’ve got Dominic Solanke, where that guy is I don’t know. You don’t even get updates about Dominic Solanke anymore.”Dominic Solanke has been limited to just two league appearance for Tottenham Hotspur this season due to injury.Meanwhile, Ollie Watkins’ brace against Chelsea on Saturday took his tally to five in 18 league outings for Aston Villa this term.GettyKane was the only recognised striker named in Tuchel’s last England squad[/caption]The depth in attack is a concern for Rory Jennings, who admitted: “I feel like the drop off from Harry Kane to whoever we have to go for is stark.”Ambrose believes this helps Calvert-Lewin’s case as he argued: “Dominic Calvert-Lewin offers you something different to Harry Kane.“The goal he scored today, it was instinct. It was a forward on form, it was a forward full of confidence.”England are next in action in March, with friendlies against Uruguay and Japan ahead of their World Cup campaign in the summer.
