Ipswich Town winger Wes Burns says it is a "dream come true" to say he will be part of a squad that is competing in the Premier League, having signed for the Suffolk club three years ago.
"It is a really proud thing to have achieved," he said on BBC Radio 5 Live's Football Daily podcast.
"It is a dream come true to say I am part of a Premier League squad.
"I think it is everything to the club. It has an amazing history and it's been 22 years since we were in the top flight. It has been an incredible rise.
"I don't think anyone beyond their wildest imaginations would have thought it."
Burns has witnessed and been part of Ipswich's transformation in recent years and, with the club approaching the 2024-25 campaign with optimism, he paid tribute to their supporters.
"The fans have been through some hard times in recent years and credit to them," he added. "They have stuck by the club in dark times and they are getting everything they deserve now."
