Burnley defender Michael Keane is chasing a first England call.

The 23-year-old had no hesitation in revealing his ambitions ahead of his team's Premier League game against Arsenal at Turf Moor on Sunday.

"It's always in the back of my mind,' said Keane to the Daily Mail. "It's an aim to get in the England team and I hope it happens sooner rather than later. New managers look to make their own stamp and bring their own players in. So, I don't expect it but I hope for it.

"I played for two years under Gareth Southgate in the Under 21s. I had a great relationship with him. I still do. Hopefully I can show him that I am still improving."
