Burnley defender James Tarkowski believes the club’s impressive form this season could end in a first cap for England ahead of the World Cup.
The centre-back, 25, has made 21 appearances this season as the Clarets punch above their weight in the Premier League.
"We know that we are being watched because the team is doing well and the league position has been better than expected," Tarkowski told the Daily Express.
"Gareth Southgate has been to a few games and players are hoping they might get a chance. But there are a lot of players vying for a small number of spots in defence.
"That said the dream is closer than it was when I was at Oldham and Brentford. There, you know you are nowhere near it."
The central defenders chosen for Southgate’s latest squad included Chelsea’s Gary Cahill, John Stones of Manchester City, Everton’s Michael Keane, and Leicester City’s Harry Maguire.
Burnley sit seventh in the Premier League standings despite failing to win in their last six matches, and face Manchester United at Turf Moor on Saturday.
