Leicester midfielder Drinkwater targets England call

Leicester City midfielder Danny Drinkwater admits he has England ambitions.

The Manchester United starlet says the chance to play in the Premier League this season could give him a platform to stake his own international claims.

"I am just knuckling down and not looking too far ahead," he told the Leicester Mercury.

"I just want to get my head down and do what I can for the club.

"Every player dreams of playing in a World Cup. But I am just concentrating on playing for Leicester. If I do that then you never know.

"I feel I have something to prove in the Premier League but I think we all do.

"We have all had a good season in the Championship but it is about stepping up now and showing if we are capable of doing that. I am sure we are."
