​Liverpool star Oxlade-Chamberlain targets Euro2020 glory

Liverpool star Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain is hoping to win Euro 2020 with England.

After recovering from a serious knee injury, The Ox has cemented himself as a key member of the Reds side.

Now he wants to channel those all action midfield displays at international level.

When asked if he hoped to be fit for Euro 2020, he replied to reporters: "Yes, I think it's written in the stars for me to score the winner!

"I don't like to sit back right now and say that I was really unlucky to miss this particular tournament or that one.

"The timing was unlucky, but boys have injuries that stop them playing full stop. I have still had the opportunity to come back. I have just got to stop the timing of those injuries to give me the chance to get to the sort of level I can be.

"It is every boy's dream. We have to respect what is in front of us and we can dream those dreams, but first of all we have got to beat Bulgaria and then Kosovo.

"There might be a bit more of an expectation going into the next tournament. But that is exciting for us and I think this squad has the confidence within it to cope with that.

"We would all sit here now saying that would be the dream come true, especially with a lot of it being at Wembley. It does not get much better than that."
