Everton winger Anthony Gordon isn't giving up on making England's World Cup squad.

Gordon has set his sights on being on the plane to Qatar — even if he admits himself it is a long shot.

The England Under-21 star said: “I'm one hundred per cent focused on making the World Cup squad.

“If it doesn't happen, it doesn't happen. It's out of my control — but I'll definitely give it my best try.

“To get there, I will need to score a lot of goals in the next couple of games. I'm ready for that challenge. I'm hopeful.

“If I didn't have the ambition to play for England at the World Cup, then I would be a bit stupid.

“But I understand the squad is so good at the minute, that it's going to be really tough to get in."
