Burnley keeper Pope aiming for number one at Euro2020

Burnley goalkeeper Nick Pope is aiming to be England's number one for next year's Euros.

Pope made his first start for his country against Kosovo last month, with Gareth Southgate resting Jordan Pickford.

Asked about trying to overhaul his Everton counterpart, Pope said: "It's possible. It's a target, but it's a long way away, there's so much that can happen until then. If I put too much energy into thinking about that, it's taking your eye off the ball.

"I'm still very new, five or six squads, two caps, so it's still the very early stages of building an England career, if we can call it that."
