'He really does deserve it': Brighton fans have interesting Lewis Dunk theory after club tweet 'hint'

Indeed, in a recent club interview, Dunk said: "I have just got to keep working hard in training, staying fit and prove that I am good enough with my performances in the Premier League so that I can get that call-up."

And the timing of the defender’s comments and subsequent club tweet has not gone unnoticed by Seagulls fans, with Gareth Southgate set to announce his England squad tomorrow.

Simply scroll down to see what Brighton & Hove Albion fans are saying about the possibility of their captain making the squad:

@bhafcryan: “Taking the recent club tweet as a hint to the fact Lewis Dunk could be back in the England squad? If he is, he really does deserve it.”

@mrmoonshine89: “He’ll be getting picked tomorrow especially after old Harry got nicked in Greece.”

@MJSowerby: “He’s defo getting picked tomorrow then.”

@L_BHAFC: “Hint.”

@h_good11: “This a hint.”

@TogetherBHA: “He knows that staying with us hurts his England career due to the big club bias, he knows he could walk into almost any PL clubs backline and yet he persists. Truly a King, a Captain and one of our own. Take a bow Lewis Dunk #BHAFC.”

@SavingMatyRyan: “Lewis Dunk needs to be on the team sheet.”

@tonymgc: “Imagine not calling up Lewis Dunk though.”

@LorenzoBrauer: If Southgate doesn’t pick Lewis Dunk in the light of Maquire’s Antics or his form then he’s on another planet.”
