Tottenham youngster Walker eyeing England seniors

Tottenham defender Kyle Walker says he would love to work his way into the England senior setup.

The 21-year old right-back, who spent the second part of last season on loan at Aston Villa, is away with the U21s at the European Championships in Denmark and is using the tournament as a platform to showcase his talents.

"I'd love to play for my country - it's my ambition," he said.

"When I first started playing football at seven, that's what I wanted to do.

"I just have to keep working hard on the training pitch and see what happens from there."

And now he is in the Young Lions squad, Walker plans to make the most of the opportunity.

"There's a great squad there and it's difficult to get a place, so I was happy when my name went up," he added.

"I just have to show that I do deserve the shirt and I'm going to keep it."
