You Won’t Believe Who It Is! Former Three Lions Hero Reveals the Everton Player SECRETLY Forcing His Way Into Tuchel’s World Cup Plans After That Insane Burnley Rout – Door Wide Open?!
Martin Keown suggests Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall is pushing for an England call-up following Everton’s Premier League win over Burnley.
The English midfielder found the net for Everton’s second goal in their 2-0 victory over Burnley at Hill Dickinson Stadium on 3 March, as David Moyes’ side outmanoeuvred Scott Parker’s Clarets.
Beyond his goal, he played a central role in dictating the tempo and ensuring the Toffees maintained control throughout the contest.
Former England defender Martin Keown, who earned 43 caps for the Three Lions during his career, believes the ex-Chelsea man is firmly in contention for an England recall.
Following his recent performances, Keown suggested the midfielder is doing everything possible to catch the attention of national team boss Thomas Tuchel.
Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall has enjoyed something of a revival since joining Everton. Once a rising talent at Leicester City, he secured a move to Chelsea after the 2023-24 season but struggled to establish himself at Stamford Bridge.
Limited opportunities led to Everton taking a gamble on him last summer — a decision that is now paying dividends.
Alongside Jack Grealish and Iliman Ndiaye, Dewsbury-Hall has arguably been one of Everton’s standout performers this season.
His goal against Burnley marked his second in successive Premier League matches, further underlining his growing influence under Moyes.
Speaking on TNT Sports 3, Keown acknowledged the fierce competition for places in Tuchel’s midfield but insisted the Everton man is “knocking on the door.”
With options such as James Garner also in the frame, Tuchel faces difficult decisions ahead of the 2026 World Cup squad selection.
Meanwhile, James Tarkowski is quietly building his own case. The experienced centre-back has been a pillar of consistency for Everton, registering his 10th Premier League clean sheet of the campaign.
With John Stones sidelined for much of the season, Tarkowski could emerge as a surprise inclusion for England, offering reliability and leadership at the back.
