Harrison Murray-Campbell proud to be one of six Chelsea players in England U17 World Cup squad

Chelsea prospect Harrison Murray-Campbell is proud to have made England's U17 World Cup squad.

Murray-Campbell is in the squad, along with Blues teammates Michael Golding, Ted Curd, who is currently on loan at Hashtag United, Josh Acheampong, Ishe Samuels Smith, and Reiss Denny.

He told the club's website: "It is a really proud moment for me and my family.

"From the age of seven when I began at Chelsea, I have had to continually work hard to develop my game with the support of all the staff at the club.

"This [being selected for England] is a massive opportunity, and I think it means that all the work that I have been doing is being recognised.

"As a defender, I know how important a strong defence is in any tournament, and I am proud to be a part of that unit. Our attack is also very dynamic, and we have a lot of good players up front. The balance in our squad is perfect I think.

"But it is not just about individual talent; it is about teamwork and dedication. The belief in the squad is strong, and we are fully aware of the challenges that are to come. However, we are also aware of the potential rewards."
