Bournemouth striker Wilson not relinquishing England hope

Bournemouth striker Callum Wilson hasn't given up hope of making England's World Cup squad.

The talented youngster has hit a rough patch at the worst time, having not scored since January.

"First and foremost it's about focusing on Bournemouth," he says, "It's what I do at my club that is ultimately going to get me there, I can only look at what I can affect, but if that impresses Southgate then great. I think any English player would want to represent their country. That's something I do want to do in the near future.

"It will be nice next season to get a full season under my belt and test myself in the Premier League with 38 games, rather than it be bitty, with an injury here or another thing there. I want to finish this season strongly and start off next year all guns blazing. Then we'll see where we are."
