Jermain is one of England’s most exciting young prospects. After being linked to both Manchester United and Arsenal, he finally put pen to paper with Spurs to return to the Premiership in January 2004.

His combination of pace and clinical finishing has allowed him to continue his goalscoring form in the top domestic league.

Jermain put in an awesome performance in the world Cup qualifier in Poland, scoring a vital goal on his first England start, and will be determined to try and hold onto his place.
