A MAGNIFICENT seven England call ups has ensured no other club are better represented for the national team than Saints at senior and under-21 level.

That bumper number of St Mary’s men have been picked to join up with Three Lions squads for up coming games next month.

Two of those, Ryan Bertrand and Fraser Forster, got the nod for Gareth Southgate’s first-team, as they head into a World Cup qualifier against Scotland on June 10 at Hampden Park, followed by a friendly against France on June 13.

And in an initial 28-man England Under-21 training squad for the European Championships in Poland next month, five Saints men were selected.

James Ward-Prowse, Nathan Redmond, Jack Stephens, Matt Targett and Sam McQueen will all join up with Aidy Boothroyd’s side for a training camp at England St George’s Park next week and will be hoping to make the reduced 23-man squad for the Euros.

Those magnificent seven have ensured that no other club in the country have more players across the two rosters than Saints.

Premier League champions Chelsea, league runners up Tottenham and third placed Manchester City follow with five representatives across the squads.

Manchester United had four players called up, while Arsenal and Leicester have three and Liverpool, Sunderland, Derby and Wolves (2) are the only other clubs to have more than one man linking up with the national team.

Both Ward-Prowse and Redmond received England senior caps in March, coming on as substitutes in a friendly defeat to Germany in Dortmund.

At the time, Southgate explained that the duo would return to the under-21s side to finish their Young Lions careers at the Championships this summer, which England start on June 15 against Sweden.

Meanwhile, three other Saints men have been called up to their respective national teams.

Cedric Soares has been included in Portugal’s squad for this summer’s Confederations Cup and Sofiane Boufal was handed a place in the Morocco squad ahead of games against Netherlands and Cameroon.

Dusan Tadic has been named in the Serbia squad ahead of their World Cup qualifier at home to Wales in June.
