Ashton is in a dying breed of striker himself, he can play up front on his own and as a target man, in a 4-4-2 or wherever you want to put him
One minute he can have the finesse and presence of Ronaldo on the ball and twist his way through the defence, the next he can have the presence of "the wardrobe" Pape Bouba Diop himself and power his way through the defence.
I don't think there are many English strikers that have the quality and intelligence on the ball as Ashton does and he should be considered.
Of course though give him to the end of the season to prove his worth just to make sure his recent run of form was not just a blip
