James Maddison believes the gap between England and their U21 is closing.

The Leicester City playmaker hopes to make Gareth Southgate's next squad after watching fellow his U21 international and Foxes teammate, Ben Chilwell, win his first cap against Switzerland earlier this month.

"I was delighted for Ben, it was no less than he deserved. Of course I want to follow in his footsteps, it has a dream of mine to play for England since I was a young boy," Maddison told Sky Sports.

"The gap between the Under-21s and the first team is not so big now, I think we've got a really good setup throughout all the age groups. That's the dream and hopefully I can get there."
