Ross Barkley hoping for long England career

Everton midfielder Ross Barkley has stated that he intends to enjoy a lengthy career with England.

The 20-year-old made his international debut in September 2013 and was part of the 23-man squad that played at the World Cup in the summer.

Barkley told reporters: "At the moment I've just got to try and get into the team and I've got to do well with my club.

"I've got to do everything right off the field and hopefully everything else will take care of itself. Hopefully in the future we will get plenty more World Cups under our belt.

"What is my first England memory? It's got to be that David Beckham free kick against Greece. It was a great moment at the time and I was celebrating on the couch. At that moment I really wanted to play for England."

Barkley has nine caps for the Three Lions.
