Arsenal fullback Carl Jenkinson is determined to make the most of his loan move with West Ham United.
Jenkinson hopes to play his way into the England squad at West Ham this season.
"A few of the England boys have retired in the past couple of months. Glen Johnson is in his 30s now. I am not sure how much longer he will play international football for.
"After that, there are a few boys like myself, Kyle Walker, Calum Chambers, Nathan Clyne, a few young right-backs out there. This has to be the season where we stamp our authority down.
"The position is there for the taking. It's up to us all to do the business. It won't be easy, of course, but I, as much as any of those boys, want to be in that England squad. I believe I am capable of it."
