Key Soccerlytics Insights:
- James Ward-Prowse has a skill-set that can add value to England's current midfield set-up. James' combination of passing, crossing and set-piece taking ability can be a real asset to the team which is stil largerly dependent on Steven Gerrard for consistent quality in midfield.
- With the likes of Jordan Henderson, Tom Cleverly and Jack Wilshere yet to definitively prove they have what it takes to marshal England's midfield over the next decade, the Three Lions might as well take Ward-Prowse to Brazil to gain invaluable experience for the future
- Southampton's 19-year old has had a strong season thus far, coming second in Europe's top 5 leagues providing 43 accurate crosses (38.46% cross accuracy rate), as well as 30 total shot assists, and has been an integral part of the Saints' positive start to the Premier League campaign (See Bsports charts below)
