Tottenham’s Dominic Solanke recalled by England seven years since last cap
27-year-old in squad to face Greece and FinlandSpurs forward has three goals in past three games
Dominic Solanke has been recalled to the England squad by Lee Carsley, seven years after winning his first and only cap in a friendly against Brazil. The 27-year-old striker has been rewarded for his impressive form at Tottenham after joining from Bournemouth in a £55m summer deal.
Solanke, who will hope to feature in the Nations League ties against Greece at Wembley next Thursday and Finland in Helsinki three days afterwards, has scored in each of his past three games for Spurs. Solanke enjoyed a hugely successful career at youth level with England, winning the European Under-17 Championship in 2014 and the Under-20 World Cup three years later but his only participation with the seniors remains his appearance under Gareth Southgate against Brazil as a late substitute.
