8. Saido Berahino – West Bromwich Albion
The Burundi-born striker has been a huge hit at the Hawthornes this season and has not just papered the cracks up front in the continued absence of Nicolas Anelka and Shane Long at the beginning of the season, but he has surpassed all expectations by showing a maturity beyond his years and a killer eye for goal.
Another player that Hodgson knows well, he too has been mentioned alongside those fellow hopefuls looking to go to Brazil over the summer.
