“For me, it’s a massive achievement [to be in the squad]. I’m clearly doing something right for my club to get attention from Gareth Southgate. It’s about going out there, helping the team as much as possible. And then coming back in and doing the same job for my team.”
Abraham insists the Nigeria question has not been raised during his time in the England camp, with the south London native merely looking to make his mark on an international stage.
He added: “I’m a player growing up in England, playing in the Premier League. My ambitions were always to play for England. Obviously it’s nice to be wanted by two nations, two nations that I love. But my main focus is England.“
I’m a player who has grown up watching the likes of Harry Kane and to be going away with them, it’s an honour for me. Now it’s all about me staying in the team and doing well for my club, and hopefully I’ll be there in 2020.”
