David Healy may perform in England's second tier with Leeds but he has the ability to play at the top level, according to Northern Ireland manager Lawrie Sanchez.

The 28-year-old striker scored a glorious winner in the 1-0 victory against Latvia in a Euro 2008 qualifier at Windsor Park, despite suffering from a migraine. It took his tally to 24 goals in 54 appearances and came on the back of his hat-trick at the ground in the 3-2 victory against Spain.

Sanchez said: "David will score goals at every level he plays. You test him at the highest level and he will not be found wanting."
