, and who ꦑhe thinks might be on the plane to𝓀 Qatar.

“I’m on the plane, Harry Kane’s on the plane.

“There’s going to be players who are travelling to the World Cup, 🀅that don’t get into the September squa🐓d.

“There’s always one, two, three players that ♔end up coming fr📖om nowhere.

♛“You see people like Kane🎀, he’s doing well, he’ll go, and then behind that it’s kind of a free-for-all really.

“I think for me, you’re going Kane, myself, Tammy Abraham, who’s a different kind of striker, so you want four different strikers and then you’re probably taking Danny Ings.”

Wilson claims Ings should be in World Cup squad

It might be a bit of a surprise that Wilson chooses♎ Dan🧔ny Ings as one of his strikers to go to the World Cup.

, and hasn’t been involved in the squad sinc♚e 2ꦛ020.

In fact, his Villa strike partner Ollie Watkinswho’s 💯been linked with a move to a Premier League rival – has been S⛦outhไgate’s preferred choice from the West Midlands.

Much like his club career, injuries have disrupted Ings’ opportunities at inter꧑national level.

The 30-year-old forward could be a great option for Southgate𓄧 if he can string a number of good performances together between now and N🐎ovember.

He’s already opened his account in the league this season, with a well taken goal against Everton.

When selected,ꦿ he tends to be Steven Gerrard’s choice through the centre of the pitch, pushing Watkins out wide.

Although Watkins’ versatility may appeal to Southgate,♈ Gerrard clearly thinks Ings is the better centre-forward.

Southgate is due to select his England squad for the Th𝕴ree Lions final warm-up games in the next couple of weeks, and all eyes will be on if Wilson’s claim that Ings should𒐪 be in the squad for the World Cup come to fruition.
