Tottenham starlet Dele Alli was left speechless after his inclusion in the England national team for the upcoming Euro qualifiers.

The 19-year-old midfielder was playing in the third tier of English football as recently as last year with MK Dons but started brightly for Spurs this season and he has already cemented his place in their first team.

All was called up by Roy Hodgson for Euro2016 qualifiers against Estonia and Lithuania on October 9 and 12 respectively and is over the moon, albeit surprised, at his call-up.

"I was speechless!" admitted Alli on Spurs TV, when asked about the senior selection.

"It's been a really good start to the season for me, I maybe didn't expect it to go this well.

"At the start of the season I set myself a target to try to become a regular in the Under-21s and try to get a few starts in the Premier League. Obviously, I've got a few starts already, so it's been a great start and I can't thank the players and staff enough for helping me settle in and play as well as I have been."

On the upcoming England fixtures, he added: "It's a great chance for me to show what I can do, show the manager and all the players. At the moment I'm just focusing on Spurs, the game at Swansea, but when it comes, I'll work as hard as I can in training and see if I can get some minutes on the pitch."
