Hull City defender James Chester is set to make his Wales debut tonight.
Having switched his allegiance from England, the former Manchester United youth team player is now poised to make his debut against the Netherlands.
"My mum said when I was growing up 'you'll play for Wales one day' so it's certainly made her very proud me coming here," said Chester, who joined up with his international team-mates last week.
"I don't think it took much persuading. I'm happy where my club career is at so the next step was to play international football.
"It will be some debut if the gaffer picks me. One of the reasons I've chosen to do this is to play against top teams like Holland, Bosnia and Belgium and to test yourself against the best players in the world.
"Hopefully, it will improve me as a player.
"I've come to international football because I want to play. I don't want to be sat on the bench. It's up to me to prove myself to everyone that I'm good enough to play."
