Glen Johnson believes that "unplayable" Andy Carroll would thrive for England at this summer's European Championships.

Liverpool full-back Glen Johnson believes that teammate Andy Carroll would be a welcome addition to the England squad for the European Championships this summer.

The Reds striker has had a difficult first full season at Anfield but the 22-year-old's recent run of form has alerted calls for a chance under new Three Lions boss Roy Hodgson.

"I definitely think Andy has put himself in contention for the England squad," said Johnson. "In the last few weeks, he has been fantastic. He is unplayable.

"Andy looks like he is quicker and is ­working a lot harder. He is a big lump but he's good on the ball and works very hard. He will scare a lot of defenders."

Carroll has three senior England caps to his name.
