Callejon delighted with "dream" Spain call-up

Napoli midfielder Jose Callejon has revealed that it is a dream for him to be called up for the first time by Spain.

The 27-year-old has been included in Vicente del Bosque's squad for their Euro 2016 qualifier against Belarus on Saturday evening and next week's friendly against Germany.

"It's a dream! Every player wants to play in his national team. I am very happy and really enjoying this opportunity," he told Goal.com.

"It is true at first there were some doubts, waiting to see what will happen... there's a good vibe together.

"I am here to do my best, to help the team win these two games and, if I have minutes or if I do not, I think I'll be just as happy because this is already a dream for me."

Callejon has scored eight goals in Serie A for Napoli this season.
