LIVERPOOL, England (Reuters) - Leicester City manager Brendan Rodgers said his playmaker James Maddison should be called up to Gareth Southgate's England squad after an excellent all-round attacking display in their 2-0 Premier League win over Everton on Saturday.

The 25-year-old pulled the strings for the Foxes, creating goals for Youri Tielemans and Harvey Barnes, and was unlucky not to score in an impressive performance.

"I respect there are so many top players, so many attacking players, doing well but if you can't find a player of that quality that has produced consistently over the last 18 months as he has then it's obviously sad," he told Sky Sports. Despite some fine performances as Leicester have bounced back from a poor start to the season, Maddison has done his best to keep quiet about his chances of making the England squad but on Saturday he opened up about his World Cup aspirations.

"If I focus on my performance for Leicester, hopefully that does catch the eye of the England manger, but that is out of my control," he added.
