Former Arsenal winger Theo Walcott has told Gareth Southgate to start James Maddison instead of Mason Mount for England at the World Cup. The Three Lions have a wealth of attacking options to guide the side into the latter stages of the tournament, with the Leicester City star and Chelsea midfielder are vying for the same position.
Maddison has enjoyed a great vein of form recently, directly contributing towards eights goals in his previous eight Premier League displays. His impressive performances have finally warranted a call-up having not featured for his country since making his debut in November 2019.
The 25-year-old featured off the bench in a European qualifier against Montenegro. England won 7-0 with just one of which coming when Maddison was on the field.
