“I want to impress and the only way I can do that is by playing well on the pitch, so hopefully we can keep putting in performances which catch the eye," said the 27-year-old, won the second of his two England caps in September, 2018.

“My priority though is my club football and if something international comes my way, I will be more than happy to be included."
