Manchester United boss Sir Alex Ferguson is tipping Ben Foster to replace Paul Robinson as England's number one.
The Spurs keeper, who has 29 caps to his name, is currently Steve McClaren's first-choice while Foster is yet to make an international appearance.
However, Ferguson believes Foster has the talent to do a job for his country and has also confirmed he will be back at Old Trafford next season.
The 23-year-old is currently in his second season-long loan spell with Watford, but will vie for the starting job with The Red Devils after the summer.
"Ben will be England's next goalkeeper - if not very soon," explained Ferguson.
"I get a report on him every month from Adrian Boothroyd. It covers everything - Ben's form, training and development.
"He will come back to us next season. Bringing him here from Stoke was fantastic."
