TOTTENHAM striker Dominic Solanke is set to receive his first England call-up in seven years.
The 27-year-old has impressed since joining Spurs in a club-record £65m transfer from Bournemouth in August.

In six appearances for his new club, Solanke has scored four goals – despite missing some time at the start of the season through injury.
The striker has now been rewarded with a call-up to the Three Lions by interim boss Lee Carsley, according to The Athletic.
Solanke made his first – and only – appearance for England in November 2017.
He came off the bench in a friendly against Brazil at Wembley Stadium.
But he could be in line for his first start against Greece or Finland next week.
Harry Maguire, James Maddison and Jarrod Bowen are among those left out of the squad.
Maguire has fallen down the pecking order at Old Trafford following the arrival of Matthijs de Ligt.
He was out of United’s squad entirely at the weekend with a calf problem but is expected to be available for the club’s Europa League clash with Porto tonight.

Maddison has not been called up since June, when he was left out of Gareth Southgate’s preliminary Euro 2024 squad.
And Bowen’s absence could be linked to West Ham’s run of poor form in the Premier League.

Morgan Rogers is another player left out of Carsley’s 26-man squad.
Instead, the forward was selected for England U21s.
England face Greece at Wembley next Thursday before taking on Finland.
Carsley’s side are currently second in Group B2 on goal difference with six points from two games.
