Martin Jol backs Bobby Zamora for England

Fulham manager Martin Jol believes that his striker Bobby Zamora is capable of leading England's attack at this summer's European Championships.

Three Lions boss Fabio Capello is searching for a replacement for Wayne Rooney, who is suspended for the entirety of the group stages following his red card in England's qualifying draw with Montenegro.

"Bobby is a target man and holds up the ball. He does that very well and is probably the best in England, or one of the best," said Jol.

"I feel he has a great chance of going to the European Championships."

Zamora is expected to feature for the Cottagers in their Europa League tie against FC Twente on Thursday night.
