Eden Hazard has been involved in more Premier League goals than any other player this season but the next best on that list is a man with a reputation nowhere near as grand as the brilliant Belgian's.

Callum Wilson has been involved in nine goals, scoring five times and providing another four assists, during Bournemouth's outstanding run to sixth in the Premier League, with Hazard scoring seven and adding three assists for unbeaten Chelsea.

However, while Hazard has been capped 96 times by Belgium and was being courted by Real Madrid back in the summer, Wilson is still waiting for his first England call-up but many believe he should be given a chance against USA or Croatia later this month.

Cherries boss Eddie Howe says it's "a matter of time" before Gareth Southgate turns to Wilson, who has a career minutes per goal figure of 203 and the calls for an England spot will reach greater heights should he improve that record against Manchester United.

Crucially, Wilson, who has previously suffered two serious knee injuries, has started every league game and also played his part in Bournemouth's run to the EFL Cup quarter-finals.
