Rodgers backs Graham for England

by Setanta Staff , 20 February 2012 Rodgers backs ace for England

Swansea boss Brendan Rodgers says Danny Graham should have an outside chance of going to Euro 2012 with England.


Graham has been bang in form so far this season when firing home 12 goals and Manchester United's Wayne Rooney is the only English striker to have scored more than the Swans attacker.

It remains to be seen who will take charge of England in Poland and Ukraine but whoever it is could do worse than take Graham with them, according to Rodgers.

"Danny has been fantastic this season," Rodgers told thisissouthwales. "And I have always said I think he is right up there with the top English strikers around.

"If he continues to work the way he has been working, you never know what could happen with Euro 2012.

"If he is going to be up around 15 or 20 goals by the end of the season, which I feel he can be, then he will be one of few English players who has achieved that.

"He has played regularly too, so certainly it will be interesting to see the England squad at the end of the season."

Graham is not the only Swans player to be mentioned with the England set up as there are also calls for midfielder Joe Allen to be given a chance following an impressive season with the club.
