Ross Barkley: I have set my sights on the World Cup

Ross Barkley: 'I have set my sights on the World Cup'

21 September 2013 - 13:19

Everton midfielder Ross Barkley has set his sights on playing for the England national side in next summer's World Cup to be held in Brazil. 

  • Chelsea ready to pay €75m for Eduardo Camavinga
  • Chelsea planning move for Strasbourg striker Joaquin Panichelli

  • The 19-year-old earned his first cap for the Three Lions from the bench during the national side's 4-0 win over Moldova at the Wembley.



    Barkley told The Mirror : "I have set my sights on the World Cup. It's a goal for me. It will be hard, but through hard work hopefully I can get on the flight there.



    "[England manager Roy Hodgson] told me to keep working hard and keep doing what I have been doing since the start of the season and if there comes a time that, because I am young, I'm on the bench, don't let your head go down.



    "He believes in me. He has high hopes for me. He sees me being able to go to Brazil if I keep progressing as I have done since the start of the season."
