Brendan Rodgers: Danny Graham for England

Brendan Rodgers backs Swansea City's top scorer to attract the attention of the new England boss.

Swansea City boss Brendan Rodgers believes that Danny Graham could be a shock selection in England's Euro 2012 squad.

Graham, who has netted 12 times in all competitions for the Swans, is the only Englishman other than Wayne Rooney to have reached the ten-goal mark in the Premier League this season.

His manager thinks that the new Three Lions boss will be forced to consider the 26-year-old if he can maintain his form.

Rodgers told the South Wales Evening Post: "Danny has been fantastic this season 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 signed from Watford in June for £3.5m.
