Newcastle United goalkeeper Nick Pope says the club's ambitions is helping his England chances.
It was United's vision in the transfer market that resulted in World Cup-bound Pope making the move from Burnley in the summer. United beat off interest from West Ham and Nottingham Forest to land the 30-year-old stopper.
He said: "I think international football's something is earned by how you play for your club. Newcastle now will hopefully be seen, and be grown to be seen, as a club where internationals will regularly come from.
"Moving here, and playing in this team is something that will help me get England caps. I'm never going to be a goalkeeper that gets 50, 60 caps. I'm 30. I'm not being unrealistic, but I feel there's more for me, and I want to see how many I get. It's another ambition."
Pope is in pole position to get to the World Cup finals in Qatar providing he stays fit and avoids injuries.
He reflected: "I was lucky enough to be part of the last one. I was unlucky or unfortunate to miss out on the Euros because of my knee surgery, so that fire's still burning for myself. Being part of a major tournament for England is the biggest stage you can possibly get to. In a footballer's career, you don't see too many.
"If you get to three World Cups, you've done unbelievably well. It's special to have that opportunity, and it'll be a target."
