Scotland are looking to poach an England starlet following his omission from Gareth Southgate's squad.

Southgate has named his England squad for their Euro 2024 qualifiers against Malta and North Macedonia.

The Three Lions face Malta on Friday before travelling to North Macedonia next Tuesday.

Ezri Konsa, Rico Lewis and Cole Palmer, who is still eligible to play for another nation, have been called up to the England squad for the first time.

But there's no space for Anthony Gordon, who has impressed at Newcastle United this season.

He's played 15 games in all competitions, scoring four goals - including his side's controversial winner against Arsenal.

Though he hasn't been able to break into Southgate's senior team, with Scotland considering an attempt to lure him away from the England national team.

According to the Daily Record, Scotland are set to test Gordon's resolve in a bid to switch his international allegiance.

The 22-year-old struggled when he first arrived at St James' Park following his move from Everton.

But he's since become one of the standout stars for Eddie Howe's side this season.

Gordon, who has 16 caps at U21 level, was named Player of the Tournament in the summer after helping England to glory in the European U21 Championship.

He isn't the only English-born player on Scotland's radar as they also have their eyes on Tino Livramento and Harvey Barnes.

Southgate, meanwhile, insists the door is '100 per cent open' for the players not in the squad as he mentioned Raheem Sterling, who has once again missed out on the England squad.

"We don’t need to know about his quality, his personality," he said of Sterling. "He is a crucial part of why we’ve had the journey we’ve had over the last few years. I can only repeat what I have said in the meetings, we’re playing exceptionally well and who can I leave out?"
