I've said a couple of times recently he's probably getting closer to getting talked about for England because of his performances. By the way, England have got so many good players to select from, so for anyone to"
"select a team [is difficult]. I've been listening to discussions all week about (Phil) Foden and (Jude) Bellingham, etc., but all I'm saying is Jimmy is one of the group of young English midfield players who maybe in the future has a chance of getting a call-up.

James Garner is approaching the end of his Everton contract and will become a free agent next summer. From January he can sign pre-contract agreements with other clubs, creating an opportunity that Aston Villa and Nottingham Forest are prepared to exploit. Everton hold a one-year extension option on his deal. Garner has one goal and one assist in 11 Premier League appearances this season. Interest from other clubs could make a player nearing contract expiry receptive to offers and create significant concern for Everton about retaining him. Managerial praise has emphasized his performances and versatility.
