Gareth Southgate has opted to pick six Tottenham players in his England squad.

Gareth Southgate has named six Tottenham players in his England side ahead of November’s friendlies against Germany and Brazil – and Gary Lineker believes all of them would get into his Three Lions line-up.

Danny Rose rejoins the England squad for the first time after recovering from a long-term knee injury, while young midfielder Harry Winks gets his second call-up. They join regulars Eric Dier, Harry Kane, Dele Alli and Kieran Trippier.

England announced the squad on their official Twitter account on Thursday afternoon, selecting four uncapped players in Joe Gomez, Tammy Abraham, Ruben Loftus-Cheek and Jordan Pickford.

Former Tottenham striker and now Match of the Day presenter Lineker responded to the news that six Spurs players had been called up by stating he would “play ’em all”.

All but Rose started Tottenham’s remarkable 3-1 win over Real Madrid on Wednesday, which saw Alli score a sublime brace before Kane grabbed an assist for Christian Eriksen’s strike.

England first face Germany at Wembley on November 10, before Brazil travel to London to face Southgate’s side four days later in what will be tough test for the three Lions after qualifying for the 2018 World Cup.
