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.
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."
