Bournemouth striker Wilson convinced of England recall

Bournemouth striker Callum Wilson hopes to break back into the England squad this new season.

Wilson believes a strong start to the Premier League campaign could put him into future England consideration.

Quizzed on his memories of working alongside England coach Gareth Southgate and captain Harry Kane, he told the Daily Echo: “They are proper professionals and you can see why they are getting the success they are. The manager works hard and the players work hard.

“Kane is a great player and a great person to be around. One day, hopefully, you never know, we might be team-mates.

“When you see the team doing well it's great for the country and the players you play against week in, week out. You are watching as a fan but ultimately, one day, you want to be a part of that squad.

“It would be nice to represent my country but I think that is going to come from having a good pre-season, having a good start to the season, and focussing on Bournemouth.

“I have to make sure my performances are 10 out of 10 every week. That is when you get interest from the international manager. You have to focus on yourself first and, hopefully, that will fall into place."
