Matt Jarvis is England class for boss

Wolves boss Mick McCarthy believes Matt Jarvis would not look out of place with England - despite missing out on the latest squad.

The in-form wide man has been watched by England boss Fabio Capello three times this season, against Everton, Newcastle and Villa.

Jarvis has been overlooked for next Tuesday's Euro 2012 qualifier against Montenegro in favour of more established names such as Manchester City pair Adam Johnson and Shaun Wright-Phillips, Villa's Ashley Young and Aaron Lennon of Tottenham.

No Wolves player has represented England since Steve Bull 20 years ago, but Jarvis was in the frame for the first qualifiers against Bulgaria and Switzerland after talk of being named in a provisional squad.

Fans have been chanting for his inclusion, and they might yet get their wish with the friendly against France next month.

McCarthy believes Capello could only have seen good things in Jarvis.

The Wolves boss said: "Fabio was here the other Sunday for the Villa game. I know there were a few players on the pitch he would have been watching, and I don't pick the England team, but he can only have been impressed by Jarvis.

"Anyone who watched him could only be impressed by his performance - the way he plays his game, the damage he does when he gets the ball and how he causes full-backs problems.

"There were suggestions he might have been in the last squad, and this one.

"It's up to Fabio to decide whether he's an England player but he's looking like a very good Premier League player."

McCarthy points to Jarvis' improvement in his three years at Wolves, in particular the winger's delivery.

The manager said: "He's improved year by year and week by week to the point where he's now a constant threat in the Premier League.

"My desire when we get our good players on the ball is that we get something out of it.

"Against Villa we got a goal from Jarvis and he put in two or three really good crosses in the second-half.

"What he's worked on and improved is the quality of his final ball, he's now one of the most consistent players here in terms of getting crosses in.

"He might not deliver the same quantity, but when he puts them in, we look like we're going to score off them. He's playing some great stuff. He's got better and he's matured into a really good player.

"As well as his improved crossing, he does all the other aspects of his job - tracking back, keeping the ball and passing it simple."
