Arsenal goalkeeper Aaron Ramsdale is dreaming of taking over England's national team number 1 position for Qater 2022.
Ramsdale was a late inclusion to England's Euro 2020 squad after the withdrawal of Dean Henderson due to injury.
Even though the 23-year-old was recalled for World Cup qualifiers against Andorra and Hungary earlier this month, he's yet to earn an international cap.
But the goalkeeper believes he can push England's No 1 Jordan Pickford from between the posts following his impressive displays for the Gunners after his summer move from Sheffield United.
Speaking on the whirlwind summer, the former Sheffield United goalkeeper said: "Me and the Mrs were going to go on holiday and go and chill. The next thing you know, I'm in the squad, I'm fully part of it and it was some of the best weeks of my life!'
The Three Lions made it all the way to the Euros final at Wembley but suffered defeat to Italy on penalties.
But, despite not making even a single appearance in the campaign, Ramsdale still enjoyed the experience and hopes they can repeat it in Qatar - this time with him starting in goal.
"I keep saying it was a great lad's holiday,' he added. 'That's just the team spirit we had, and we were just a few kicks away from achieving something great."
"It's just added momentum and hunger to do well in the World Cup and hopefully I can be a part of that again and hopefully that'll be to do with a starting role."
Ramsdale has started Arsenal’s last six Premier League matches after replacing Bernd Leno following Arsenal’s 5-0 thrashing at Manchester City and his shot-stopping displays have helped Mikel Arteta's team find their momentum after a very poor start to the season which saw them loose their first three league games to Brentford, Chelsea and Manchester City. Conceding 9 goals during that period.
But despite impressing domestically, the keeper faces a tough challenge to break into England's starting X1.
Pickford is the man in his way and the Everton goalkeeper is Southgate's clear favourite with the Three Lions boss sticking by him, despite being a bit out of form for the Toffees.
While Burnley's Nick Pope will also be looking to compete with Ramsdale and Pickford and already has seven caps to his name.
