Alexander-Arnold, 25, impressed against both countries in England's wins over them in the summer and is hoping to do it again.

He said: "These are huge opportunities just like the summer, just like when I'm given any time on the pitch, given that platform to perform.

"There's a chance for me to go and earn a starting spot at the Euros.

"That is where my head is at when I'm turning up to camp. It is full focus to go and achieve that." "That is what I want to go out and do.

I want to start those games at the Euros and be someone who can help win silverware for the country."
