Burnley striker Andre Gray admits a lot of hard work must go into making his dream of an England call-up a reality.

"It's always been a dream of mine," the 25 year old told Sky Sports.

"There's a lot of work to do to get to that and a lot of competition.

"Someone mentioned I'm fighting for a place with the likes of Kane so it's a lot to live up to. I've got keep working hard, keep my head down and keep working hard.

"It's a bit surreal seeing that going around but that's just what I think personally. I try not to let those things distract me and just keep doing what I'm doing. Hopefully then it will come.

"[Heaton and Keane] have set the example. Heats was in the team when we were in the Championship so that says a lot.

"The boys are getting a chance as long as they are performing on the pitch. Keano's shown that now and I think he's took a lot of confidence from that and he's getting better and better with each game. It just shows it's possible."

Only four English players can better Gray's tally of eight Premier League goals this season, with Kane leading the way on 19 ahead of Jermain Defoe (14), Dele Alli (13) and Troy Deeney (9).
