Will Lankshear being monitored for Premier League switch after making England long list

Newcastle are reportedly monitoring the progress of Will Lankshear following the striker’s sensational form at Middlesbrough. Lankshear has proven a huge success since his arrival from Tottenham for an initial £10million and ranks top of the Championship goalscoring charts. The 21-year-old has fired in 13 goals in as many games – the best start to a season by a Boro player since George Camsell in 1926. His impressive form even put him in contention for a first-ever senior England call-up for the upcoming international break.
