No player has scored more than Watkins’ nine goals since the last international break.
Manchester CityErling Haaland is second on the list of seven. Nottingham ForestMorgan Gibbs-White is the next best English player with five.
But while Watkins may be England’s most versatile striker heading into the World Cup, the place everyone will be vying for is the number one back-up spot for captain Kane.
Ivan Toni has been in good form throughout Al-Ahly’s season, but playing in the Saudi Pro League makes it difficult to directly compare his numbers to other rivals.
Of the rest, Watkins’ 19 goals in all competitions puts him ahead of Dominic Calvert-Lewin, who returned to England after a five-year exile in March, and Danny Welbeck, whose last game was in 2018, on five.
“He has to be in the plane,” former Villa midfielder Lee Hendrie said on Sky Sports when asked about Watkins’ possible inclusion this summer. “We’ve seen a huge turn of the corner since we left.
“He was constantly in front of the goal, he showed his ability. He is a completely different player to Harry Kane and he gives them something different.”
