Brighton attacker Katie Robinson can become an England regular if she continues to "stretch herself" at club level, according to coach Amy Merricks.
Merricks recently worked as Robinson's manager in a near two-month spell as interim boss, before the appointment of former Bayern Munich women's manager Jens Scheuer after Christmas, and will remain a key part of the coaching set-up. Robinson, 20, is expected to be an important player for the new coach, having been arguably the clubs' most consistent performer in the first half of the season.
Her excellent form led a first England call-up in November, with the wide-forward making her senior Lionesses debut as a late substitute in the 1-1 draw with Norway. Sarina Wiegman will monitor Robinson closely in the new year and if the Albion star is included in the squad for February's Arnold Clark Cup, she will have a huge opportunity to audition for a World Cup finals place.
