It would obviously show I am playing as good as I can be, and hopefully sooner rather than later that can happen.[LNB]'I haven't had any contact from the full England set-up.[LNB]'You hear rumours in the papers and stuff saying 'he's got a shot', but I don't really look into that sort of stuff.[LNB]'I play for the U21s now and maybe next season even more so, so hopefully I'll kick on now and see what happens.[LNB]'I feel like I can fulfil all my ambitions here.[LNB]'The club has a great squad at the moment and if everybody is fit, like we showed the back end of last season, we can do really well. I think we can beat the big teams as well.'
