​FA chief executive wants England as contenders for Euro 2020

FA chief executive Martin Glenn says England should be among the favourites to lift the Euro 2020 trophy at Wembley, reports Sky Sports.

"We'll turn up to every tournament as contenders," said the FA boss.

"That has to be our expectation.

"You can never say you're going to win it, because everybody else wants to win it too.

"But that is our ambition, to turn up to every tournament as a reasonable favourite, and take it from there."

Euro 2020 will mark the 60th anniversary of the competition and to commemorate the occasion it will be held in 13 cities across Europe, with Wembley scheduled to host the semi-finals and final.
