West Ham boss Slaven Bilic believes Andy Carroll's hat trick heroics against Arsenal have catapulted him back into the England reckoning.
Carroll, 27, plundered a stunning treble in just eight minutes either side of half-time in a thrilling 3-3 draw at Upton Park.
The striker was involved in Roy Hodgson's squad at the last European Championships in Poland and Ukraine in 2012 and opened the scoring in the victory over Sweden in the group stage.
He has struggled with injuries since, but Bilic feels that if he can stay fit his aerial prowess would be a major asset for Hodgson and the Three Lions in France this summer.
"I've said my opinion about a few of our players,'' said Bilic. "Mark Noble, Aaron Cresswell, and Andy Carroll is definitely in the category that he has to make you think about him because there are not many players capable of doing what he is doing. But it's Roy's decision.
"His problem is not consistency in terms of little injuries. A lad who is six foot whatever and with so many kilos -- he needs to be fit. Now he is fit we hope he is going to last like this for years.''
