Burnley goalkeeper Nick Pope is convinced he can be England's World Cup No1.

Pope has been a key part of Burnley's remarkable rise to seventh in the Premier League this season and his form earned him a call-up to Gareth Southgate's squad for England's friendlies against Holland and Italy.

“It's obviously a day I never thought I'd see come and, now it has, it's massive elation for me and everyone close to me," he said.

“There's got to be one number one. I want it to be me, who wouldn't? It's a massive honour.

“You've got to be hungry in football and you've got to be greedy as well. It's a new challenge and a challenge I want to take on."

Pope spent time on loan at Harrow Borough, Welling United and Aldershot Town in his formative years.

“I've played in some cold, dark leagues. It's a level - this national team - that you think is too far away almost.

“I feel like I've put in some hard yards and proven myself at those levels to try and get to this level. I don't think it's a fluke to get called up to the England squad."
