Chelsea midfielder Michael Golding is delighted to be in England's U17 World Cup squad.

Golding is one of six Blues players in the squad for the tournament in Indonesia.

"I cannot even put into words how incredibly proud and excited I am," he told chelseafc.com. "This is a dream come true for me. Ever since I was a little boy, my goal has always been to represent my country on the world stage.

"I want to make my family, my coaches, and everyone who has supported me over the years proud. I know it will not be easy, and the competition will be strong, but I am ready to give it my all.

"This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, and I will try my best to make the most of it."

Golding also said: "My ultimate goal is to represent my country at the senior level and play for Chelsea.

"I understand that it's a long and challenging journey, but seeing the success stories of those who have come before me in this tournament gives me confidence that it is possible.

"I am fully committed to making the most of this opportunity and giving my all, both on and off the pitch. I hope that one day, I can be an example for the young players who follow in my footsteps, just as those before me have inspired me."
