      Stunned fans are only just realising who the third highest goalscorer in England squad is ahead of Euro 2024

      by

      IT’S an England squad where all the attacking decisions were over who to leave out.Yet as Gareth Southgate surveys his 33-man training party ahead of Euro 2024, there’s one surprising stat that might lead you to the opposite conclusion.Harry Maguire has been a regular throughout Gareth Southgate’s reignCredit: GettyIt’s no surprise Bukayo Saka and Harry Kane top England’s scoring listsCredit: GettyAnd ironically it concerns a Manchester United team-mate of Marcus Rashford – the biggest name axed.Fans perusing the facts and figures over Southgate’s provisional squad were shocked to see the list of England’s highest scorers.Way out in front of course is skipper Harry Kane with the Three Lions’ all-time record of 62 – from 89 appearances.Arsenal marauder Bukayo Saka is comfortably in second place, albeit with “just” 11 in 32 games.READ MORE TOP STORIESBut it’s who comes next that raises eyebrows even higher than the man in question jumps in the penalty box.Step forward – and leap up – Harry Maguire!The Red Devils’ centre-back, 31, has bagged seven goals in 63 internationals, mainly thanks to his dynamic heading ability.Maguire has managed to win round Old Trafford boss Erik ten Hag after struggling for game-time early in the season.Most read in Euro 2024BEST FREE BET SIGN UP OFFERS FOR UK BOOKMAKERSAnd although he’s a leader on the pitch, it’s the quiet way he knuckled down to the challenge that has impressed most observers.Maguire has remained an England regular pretty much since making his debut in 2017, a year into Southgate’s reign.Marcus Rashford and Henderson OUT of Gareth Southgate’s England Squad for Euro 2024He switched from Leicester to the Red Devils for £85million in 2019, a then-world record for a defender.And after a honeymoon period there were a few wobbles at United.But for England his consistency has rarely dropped.And he became a fans’ favourite at the 2018 World Cup in Russia.Partly that was because he was snapped during downtime riding an inflatable unicorn.But mostly it was due to his rousing performances, capped by a soaring, scoring header in the 2-0 quarter-final win over Sweden.Nonetheless, supporters are still intrigued to see a current England squad packed with frontline options where Maguire is so high up the goal list.Manchester City’s Phil Foden is fourth on four goals.Then come five stars on three – Real Madrid’s main man Jude Bellingham, Aston Villa’s bang-in-form forward Ollie Watkins and Arsenal anchorman Declan Rice, plus defenders Luke Shaw and John Stones.Remember, Southgate’s squad also includes flair players like Jack Grealish, James Maddison and Cole Palmer, plus Brentford striker Ivan Toney and an exciting batch of rookies.One fan posted: “THE THIRD HIGHEST GOAL SCORER IS HARRY MAGUIRE” – followed by shocked emojis.”Another wrote: “This squad lacks goalscorers which is why he should’ve taken Rashford instead of Grealish, I mean you already have Saka and Foden if you want creativity, that decision might bite him.”READ MORE SUN STORIESAnd a third responded: “Yet another reason why you have to take Rashford.”Meanwhile, as that selection debate rages on, you can expect Maguire to once again just let his feet – and head – do the talking.

      By Jordan Davies
      INTERNATIONAL football’s Mr Conservative has taken a machete to his squad in one of the most brutal England squad shake-ups in recent memory.
      Gareth Southgate has built a reputation in the Three Lions hot-seat by sticking to what he knows, and who he knows, in order to navigate major tournaments without any dramas.
      Reliable, experienced faces with trust in the bank and little to no surprises on offer that have managed to reach finals and semi-finals in tournaments gone by.
      But ahead of this summer’s Euros – a competition that England are expected to win and win well – Southgate appears to be throwing caution to the wind in a bid to excite and amaze.
      Ben Chilwell, Jordan Henderson, Marcus Rashford and Raheem Sterling have all been left out of Southgate’s provisional 30-man squad – the latter three boarded the plane to Qatar in November 2022.
      And in come the young guns – Crystal Palace duo Eberechi Eze and Adam Wharton, Liverpool’s Curtis Jones and Jarell Quansah, Everton’s Jarrad Branthwaite and Burnley keeper James Trafford.
      Is Southgate finally picking on current form and potential instead of past heroics? It looks that way.
      The future is bright, and Southgate is ready to shake things up in order to reflect that. More
