Jonathan Rowe praises Thomas Tuchel as winger dreams of England call-up

Jonathan Rowe (21) became an international for the England U21s last year when he was called up for the nation’s EURO 2025 qualifiers against Serbia and Ukraine. However, the Olympique de Marseille winger will be hoping that his move to the French club this summer may help him stake an eventual spot in the main team. 

Ahead of Sunday’s fixture against Montpellier HSC, the former Norwich City academy product was asked about the new England manager Thomas Tuchel. “He’s done great things before and he’s a great manager,” Rowe replied. “If I get called up then I’ll be a very happy guy of course (laughs).” 

Jonathan Rowe: ‘I’ll have to prove and earn that spot.’

Rowe further added, “I’d like to stamp my mark on the national team. When that will be I don’t know, but I’ll have to prove and earn that spot.” The winger will likely be looking towards fellow countryman Angel Gomes (24) whose performances for Lille OSC earned him a call-up to the national team under interim manager Lee Carsley
