Pardew: Taylor deserves England spot

Alan Pardew thinks that "outstanding" Newcastle defender Steven Taylor is good enough to play for England.

Newcastle United manager Alan Pardew thinks that Steven Taylor should be called up into the England squad after a successful start to the season.

The defender has played an integral part in the Magpies' surge to the top four of the Premier League table but failed to earn a call-up to the Three Lions squad to face Spain and Sweden.

"Steven Taylor would be the one," Pardew told talkSPORT. "We're talking about a player who was going to be England's centre-half but who got injuries and lost his way a little bit in terms on continuity, which is what you need to get in the England team.

"But he's been fit for almost the whole year since I came to Newcastle and has been absolutely outstanding.

"He's a player who could walk into the England team and play to the level [Gary] Cahill did last night [against Sweden]. If England come calling he won't let them down."

The North East side go head to head with fellow unbeaten side Manchester City on Saturday.
