Tottenham ace Dele Alli says England's players want to win the Nations League this summer.

Alli says there can be no doubting their ambitions.

He told the Mirror: “We want to be the No.1 team in the world and to do that you have to be at it in every game and when you come away you have to prove yourself every time.

“We definitely believe we can be the best in the world. Obviously everyone will have their opinions but the work we've been putting in is to achieve that.

“We know there's a long way to go, a lot of work to be done but we feel we are definitely heading in the right direction.

“The Nations League tournament has had some unbelievable teams in it. Look at our Group (Spain and Croatia) and see how tough it was. It's exciting for us to try to win another trophy.

“We're looking forward to it, prepare properly, focus on the Euro 2020 games first and then obviously when the time comes prepare as well as we can for the Nations League.

“But we've proved so far since Gareth [Southgate] came in that we can beat the top sides and everyone can see the direction we're heading in which is exciting. We had a great World Cup but it was important to show with the results after that it was not just a one-off. We are a good team, I think we've shown that and we have beaten some good teams.

“We need to keep challenging ourselves. We can't stop now and I think the gaffer definitely won't let that happen."
