Simon Cowell has reportedly offered to help out with next years English World Cup Anthem.

The News Of The World claims that Cowell would like to choose the singer for the track.

An FA source said: “There’s great optimism for the England team after the stunning way in which they qualified for the World Cup. The plan is for the official song to be an absolute show-stopper that will help carry the boys all the way to the final.

“Clearly, Simon Cowell’s involvement would pretty much guarantee chart success. He’s expressed a real interest in getting one of his biggest acts on board and it is being considered very seriously.”

The insider said that Leona Lewis or JLS were most likely to sing the song, personally I’d prefer Paul Potts.

“The FA wants the soundtrack to South Africa 2010 to get the whole country singing,” the source said. “They’re planning for success in the charts and the tournament.”
