Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain is set for a Euro 2012 audition at Wembley later this month.
Arsenal starlet Oxlade-Chamberlain, 18, is being lined up for a place in the squad to face Holland on February 29.
That, in turn, has opened the door for a call-up for the European Championships.
Under-fire England boss Fabio Capello sought out Oxlade-Chamberlain after his impressive performance against Manchester United last month to personally congratulate him.
He has also discussed Oxlade-Chamberlain’s Euro prospects with members of his coaching staff.
Oxlade-Chamberlain, who scored twice against Blackburn on Saturday, said: “Obviously it [England call-up] would be very nice, but I have just got to keep my feet on the ground and take it step by step.
“I am focusing on Arsenal at the moment, and am in the under-21 squad. All I can do is concentrate on what I am involved in.”
