Arsenal star Aaron Ramsdale claims that his call-up to the England World Cup squad is a "dream", stating that he will have to continue his hard work. It comes after Gareth Southgate announced his 26-man group of players that he will be taking to Qatar, searching for a second major honour for the nation.
A trio of Gunners make the final draft of the squad as Ramsdale is joined by teammates Bukayo Saka and Ben White on the plane in the next week or so. The goalkeeper took to social media in light of the announcement, sending out a heartfelt message to all his followers.
"The World Cup is a dream for any boy - none more so than me from Stoke on Trent," Ramsdale said. "I’ve worked my whole life to get here after watching so many tournaments and seeing players compete. It is such a privilege to be selected for this country. Now it’s time to graft even more."
