Tottenham Hotspur striker Dominic Solanke says it is his "dream" to represent England and that he is "grateful to be back" following a seven year absence.

Solanke has been included in the latest Three Lions squad for the first time since his one and only appearance in 2017.

"I didn't think it wouldn't come around," he said. "My mindset was to keep doing well and scoring, I am grateful to be back.

"When I first came I was quite young, so I have done a lot of learning and developing. I am a lot more mature so naturally I am going to be in a better position. I feel good in myself.

"That is what the dream is, to represent the country. Hopefully I can get some minutes."
