Jack Harrison's England World Cup squad odds tumble after sensational Chelsea display

Jack Harrison's odds to make England's World Cup squad have been slashed following his performance against Chelsea. The winger scored and grabbed an assist in Leeds United's 3-0 thrashing of the Blues.

It's been an impressive start to the season from Harrison, but his display against Chelsea was his best so far this season. The 25-year-old, who has never received an England call-up, has assisted a goal in every Leeds game this campaign and scored eight times for the Whites last season.

Shortly after the Chelsea game finished, Harrison was 28/1 to make Gareth Southgate's 26-man squad, but his odds have since dramatically fallen to 6/1 with Sky Bet.

Harrison recently spoke about his goal of going to the World Cup with England, where he acknowledged that he'd have to be named in Southgate's squad for the fixtures against Italy and Germany in September to stand any chance of being selected.

"My goal is to try to make the next England camp in September," Harrison told the Daily Mail. "If I am to have any chance of the World Cup at all, I will have to make that next squad.

‘It’s a big goal and my grandad would be the proudest."

Striker Patrick Bamford is also a 6/1 shot to be included in England's squad for Qatar. The 28-year-old made his England debut last September, but hasn't received a cap since following an injury-hit campaign. The odds suggest that the likes of Dominic Calvert-Lewin, Callum Wilson and Ollie Watkins are more likely to be called up ahead of the Whites' number nine.

Elsewhere, Leeds defender Charlie Cresswell, who is currently on loan at Millwall, and striker Joe Gelhardt are priced at 50/1 to make England's squad, while Luke Ayling is 66/1 . Adam Forshaw is also 66/1 to make the cut, with Jamie Shackleton at 80/1 , and Oxford United loanee Lewis Bate at 100/1 .
