I'm joint-fifth highest goalscorer in Premier League and still eyeing first England call-up

Tavernier is joint-fifth in the Premier League scoring charts with five goals and hopes his form will earn him a first England senior call-up.

Ten games into the 2026/27 season, Bournemouth winger Tavernier has scored five Premier League goals, placing him joint-fifth in the scoring charts behind Haaland (9), Isak (7), Jackson (6) and Barry (6). With another goal in the Europa League, he has six overall this season.

The 27-year-old, who has represented England at U19 and U20 level but not yet at senior level, is the highest-scoring English player alongside Morgan Rogers. Speaking on talkSPORT Breakfast, Tavernier expressed his ambition to earn a senior cap, saying he must continue to perform on the pitch and score goals to earn that opportunity.

Bournemouth have established themselves as a Premier League club and are excelling in their first-ever Europa League campaign, sitting second with four wins from four. Tavernier is confident they can win the competition and qualify for the Champions League, noting that recent winners like Aston Villa and Tottenham have come from the Premier League.
