I wasn't sure if I was going to make it as a footballer - Scott

Bournemouth midfielder Alex Scott says he is "over the moon" after receiving a "dream come true" first senior England call-up for the World Cup qualifiers against Serbia and Albania.

The 22-year-old played non-league football in Guernsey until December 2019 when he signed a pre-contract agreement with Championship side Bristol City.

"I'm over the moon," Scott said. "It is everything I dreamed for back then.

"Six years ago, I was playing non-league football and I wasn't even sure if I was going to make it as a football player, so to now be in the England senior team is a dream come true.

"When I got the call and he [Thomas Tuchel] told me I was going to be in the squad, it was an unbelievable feeling. I couldn't stop smiling."

Asked about his rise from the eighth tier of English football to the national squad, Scott replied: "I don't think it has sunk in too much yet.

"Everyone's dream is to be in that World Cup squad. The World Cup is a dream of mine, but I'm just taking it one step at a time.

"If I get the chance to play, hopefully I can impress and show what I am capable of."
