24-year-old Matt - who scored in last Blackburn’s recent defeat against Liverpool in front of England Eriksson - was overlooked in the run up to the World Cup.
Souness, however, believes England recognition will soon come for the former Crystal Palace player.
He said: "He is a player with natural ability and that degree of unpredictability that all top strikers must have. One day, Matt Jansen will play for England."
