Southampton starlet Targett eager to be part of England U21 success

Matt Targett says he is keen to be heavily involved in the England U21 setup.

?The Southampton full-back, 19, has been called into Gareth Southgate's Young Lions squad for this weekend's friendly with the Czech Republic and is planning to force his way into the line-up ahead of the summer's European Championships.

?"There's a real expectation for England this year with the Euros here and the seniors not having anything," he said.

"There's pressure on the U21. But you can feel the determination to do well, everyone is really looking forward to it and it will be a good challenge for us."?
