England fans have urged Gareth Southgate to be bold and fast track a Championship star in the squad for Euro 2024, should Luke Shaw not be fit in time.
The Manchester United full-back faces a race against time to be fit for the Euros, as he battles to get over his thigh injury and then get enough minutes for his club under his belt to warrant making the squad.
The 28-year-old has long been Southgate's first choice left-back but with Ben Chilwell, Kieran Trippier and Joe Gomez available as backups, Southgate may not want to take a gamble unless Shaw can prove his fitness.
But some Three Lions supporters on social media believe the answer to Southgate's problems can be found at Championship leaders Ipswich in the shape of Leif Davis.
The 24-year-old has two goals and an astonishing 19 assists for Ipswich in the Championship this season and started all his 37 league appearances.
