Norwich City captain Grant Holt dismisses speculation that his form this season could earn him a call-up to the England squad.

Norwich City captain Grant Holt has dismissed speculation that his form this season could see him earn a call-up to the England squad.

The striker scored his tenth goal of the season during Norwich's 2-1 loss to Manchester United yesterday afternoon.

That goal made Holt the second highest English goalscorer in the Premier League, but he isn't expecting to be selected by the Three Lions.

"I'm not holding my phone tightly in my pocket and waiting," he told reporters. "People can write and say what they want, but it's up to the people at the top to pick the teams. If they decide I'm not good enough, then that's fine.

"I'm having a great time, enjoying life, feeling in great shape, I'm fit, I'm strong and at the moment I'm really enjoying my football."

Holt has scored 65 goals in 119 for the Canaries.
