Tottenham Hotspur midfielder Harry Winks is hoping to be named in England squad for the upcoming Euro 2020 qualifiers.
England Gareth Southgate will name his squad tomorrow ahead of the countries clashes with Bulgaria and Kosovo as they look to go one step closer to qualifying for the competition next summer.
The 23-year-old will be eagerly waiting to see if he is back among the squad as he looks to stamp his mark for his nation.
Although he did admit good performances for Spurs are what matter most as that will be what gets him a place in the squad.
"It's something that is always in the back of my head I wanted to be fit and selected for England," Winks said.
"I want to play for my country, everyone does, but first and foremost it's about performing for Tottenham.
"Working hard and improving for Tottenham then performances will warrant those sorts of opportunities."
