Cardiff City boss Malky Mackay believes that Steven Caulker can stake his claim in the England team after making the move to South Wales.
The 21-year-old centre-back, who scored in his only appearance for the Three Lions against Sweden in November, joined the Bluebirds in an £8m deal from Tottenham Hotspur on Wednesday.
"He is in the England squad at the moment and he could be England's future number one centre-half annd he can progress here towards that," Mackay told the South Wales Echo. "We're delighted he has committed to us."
Caulker spent the 2011-12 season on loan at Cardiff's bitter rivals Swansea City.
