Former England striker Teddy Sheringham has urged Roy Hodgson to name Bobby Zamora in his Euro 2012 squad with a view to the QPR star spearheading England’s attack in Ukraine and Poland.

The new England manager names his squad this Wednesday with the make-up of his strikeforce highly up for debate given Wayne Rooney's two-match suspension and Darren Bent's injury.

Zamora has just two England caps, with his last coming in the 1-0 win over Sweden last November, and the 31-year-old has struggled in the Premier League this term.

This season he has scored nine goals in all competitions, but just twice since moving to QPR from west London rivals Fulham for £6million in January – where he was signed by Hodgson in 2008 before enjoying two seasons under his guidance.

But Sheringham believes Zamora’s playing style offers much to England going into the tournament and is confident his ex-West Ham team-mate can help lead England’s attack.

‘When you play in a major competition it’s like playing away from home,’ said Sheringham.

‘It’s the same for most sides of course, but that is the feel you get of the game – you are not playing a home game.
