Dan Gosling celebrates at Hull 300[LNB]DAN GOSLING capped a perfect week last night with a first England Under-21 call-up - and the prospect of a Wembley appearance this weekend.[LNB]The 19-year-old Everton midfielder was drafted into the national squad for England's European Championship Under-21 qualifier against Portugal on Saturday, at Wembley Stadium, and next week's game against Lithuania in Vilnius.[LNB]It is his first call-up for Stuart Pearce's squad.[LNB]And after scoring the goal which turned out to be the matchwinner at West Ham last Saturday, it was another major boost for Gosling, who was snapped up by the Blues after only 24 first team appearances for Plymouth.[LNB]Gosling's strike at Upton Park last weekend was the fourth of his short Everton career and he said afterwards: 'I would like to say it is a natural ability! But it's just nice to get on the end of things and get goals.[LNB]'It's important for me to do a job for the team and if a chance comes your way you have to take it.[LNB]'I enjoy being part of the (Everton) squad. I will play anywhere that I am needed if the gaffer asks me to.[LNB]'For me it has been great to get games under my belt and hopefully I can do a job for the team. I think I did that with the winning goal at West Ham and I hope I helped.'
