Stormzy's emerged as a frontrunner for England's official Euro 2016 tune

Grime could soundtrack the Three Lions' tournament in France this summer

The odds of Stormzy being the artist to record England's official tune for Euro 2016 have dropped to 9/1.

Originally 18/1 on Betfair, the south London MC has seen the probability of him getting behind the boys in France increasing, currently in the shadows of Kaiser Chiefs, Tinie Tempah and the favourite, One Direction's Louis Tomlinson.

Obviously the bookmakers doesn't influence who the Football Association chooses for the anthem, but it seems like Stormzy's keen to follow up 'WickedSkengman4' regardless.

It's the youngest England squad in years, too, so it'd be perfect for the 22-year-old to soundtrack the tournament. He's not exactly lacking in motivational lyrical ability, either, is he?
