West Ham United fullback Carl Jenkinson hopes to help England win the U21 Euros.

Jenkinson harbours an ambition to lead his country to glory at this summer's Under 21s European Championships in Czech Republic, hoping to catch Hodgson's eye with next year's senior Euros not far away.

"It is a massive opportunity for us," he said.

"I think Roy Hodgson will be watching all the games and having a keen look at all the players. The senior Euros are a year after, so this will be a great chance for us to go and impress.

"When I speak to the lads, because I stay in touch with quite a few of them, everyone can't wait for it.

"It's a massive stage and something that we've worked hard for. We're confident in ourselves. We feel that we can go there and really give it a good go."
