Zakuani for England?

It’s not a particularly complementary about the MLS, but the Mirror claims Zakuani is appearing on the radar of the England national team.

He’s got a huge upside and I do believe his playing future lays in Europe. He’s certainly good enough, but even with the real issues England has on the left it seems a little bit of a stretch today.

Anyway, here is the link:-

  • With Montero and Zak there are two players that are capable of making a living at the top levels of soccer. I’m interested to see if the Sounders are willing to use a DP to keep them when the times comes.

  • I saw Zakuani mentioned in the Mail too. Obviously we don’t know much about him, do you think he’s good enough to thrive in the Premier League?

  • Good enough for the Premier league? Today that may be a bit of a stretch. He’s got the speed for that level, that initial burst that takes him around defenders and into space. If he continues to develop the way he has this last season, especially his first touch and positioning, then yes I think he could play at that level.
