Roy Hodgson picks his England squad on Thursday for a Euro 2016 qualifier against Lithuania and a friendly against Italy . Wayne Rooney , Danny Welbeck , Rickie Lambert and Saido Berahino were named to face Scotland in November . Daniel Sturridge is fit again now too , but there are three new boys on the block . So what do the likes of Danny Ings , Charlie Austin and Harry Kane have to offer ? Danny Ings . He ’ s a very astute and clever player , aware of what ’ s going on around him in midfield and around the penalty box . His movement and technical ability are good . Ings looks to go in behind the defender and to face up and receive the ball . He has a bit of pace as well . Here is a player who will really flourish if he ends up at Liverpool , Arsenal or Manchester United because of the amount of chances he ’ ll the get there . He has a big future . Burnley striker Danny Ings ( right ) is a a very astute and clever player with a bit of pace as well . Charlie Austin . What people don ’ t appreciate about Charlie is that he ’ s scored 15 goals this season yet because QPR are fighting relegation , he ’ s not had that many chances . He is a born finisher , instinctive in the way that Gary Lineker or Ian Rush was and perhaps the best of the three in that regard . I was with him at QPR and Charlie knows he has to work on his game outside the box , in his positioning and movement . But he will do that , because he is committed learner and though he ’ s 25 , you can see him improving over the next few years . QPR forward Charlie Austin has scored 15 Premier League goals this season , despite the club 's struggles . Harry Kane . Harry ’ s probably not quite as good a finisher as Charlie , but his all-round game is better . He can play off the front , he can play the one right up the top . His movement is excellent and technically he looks a really good player . His finishing is much more clinical now and he has range , from the header he scored against Arsenal , to shots outside and inside the box . In general , if a player is good enough for the senior squad , I don ’ t see the sense in sending them back to the Under 21s . It ’ s unlikely Kane will get much game time against Lithuania and Italy so he will probably go back to the U21s for the summer tournament . But once he has three or four senior games under his belt , there should be no going back . Harry Kane is the Premier League 's form man - winning the January and February Player of the Month award . Verdict . I don ’ t think England have had this amount of players to choose from up front since I was manager . Alan Shearer , Teddy Sheringham , Ian Wright and Michael Owen meant the likes of as Robbie Fowler , Les Ferdinand and Andrew Cole weren ’ t first choice . Hodgson might have a similar scenario developing now . Michael Owen ( left ) was one of several attacking options Glenn Hoddle had at his disposal as England boss .
England name their squad for matches vs Italy and Lithuania on Thursday . 15 Lions boss Roy Hodgson has a wealth of attacking options to pick . Danny Ings , Charlie Austin and Harry Kane could all earn a call-up .
