Five promising stars set for international call-ups this month

The 23-year-old is relishing his central role alongside World Cup winning midfielder Toni Kroos, playing a key part in his side’s recent climb to the summit of the Spanish league table, with Carlo Ancelotti’s Spanish giants also now 3/1 favourites to retain their European crown this year.

A call-up to Brazil is imminent, having already starred for his country at Under-21 level, and national boss Dunga hoping to sure up his midfield options in time for this year’s Copa America competition.

Watch Silva make his Madrid debut in a La Liga clash with Deportivo La Coruna:

Paulo Dybala
Palermo’s prolific Argentine attacker will be hopeful of an international call-up for his country’s friendly fixture against El Salvador later this month. Dybala could benefit massively from a friendly outing, in an attempt to establish himself regularly before the Copa America kicks-off in Chile this summer.

The Serie A attacker has flourished for the Sicilian side this term, incredibly firing in 12 goals in his 24 season appearances so far, and recently stating that he would swim to Barcelona if it meant securing his dream move to the Nou Camp.

Watch Dybala rip AC Milan’s defence apart and fire Palermo ahead in a Serie A encounter:

Bas Dost
Deadly Dutch danger Dost was handed his first ever call-up to the Netherlands national roster in 2012 by former boss Louis van Gaal, though never made the final cut for a matchday squad.

However, the in-form forward could soon be donning the famous orange jersey, as his potent performances in the Bundesliga this term continue to attract attention throughout Europe.

Current national boss Guus Hiddink could call upon Dost for his side’s vital Euro 2016 qualifier meeting against Turkey, with recognised senior striker Robin van Persie currently nursing a knock which is set to keep him sidelined for many weeks.

Watch Dost’s sublime piece of skill to extend Wolfsburg’s lead over Bayer Leverkuson in a Bundesliga victory:

Aymeric Laporte
Athletic Bilbao’s courageous central defender has attracted interest from the likes of Manchester United, who are 11/4 to win the FA Cup, with the Red Devils having reportedly made enquiries for his services in January.

The Frenchman has been a potent performer in Spain, with an international call-up looking increasingly possible for his country’s upcoming friendly clash against Brazil.

Laporte looks like a future star for France, as a mouth-watering partnership with Madrid centre back Raphael Varane in the heart of the national team’s defence beckons.
