He scores goals, his movement's great and he's a prospect for English football.   "I know him well from the [England] Under-21s. It's down to the boss (to pick us) and we've both got to keep working hard, as do the other strikers who are trying to get a place.   "There are a lot of great English strikers here at the moment, which is good for the country. There's competition. We've all got to work hard to retain our place."
