Chelsea midfielder Mason Mount is excited to play alongside childhood friend Declan Rice.
Mount will line-up with the West Ham midfielder, who he played with at Chelsea, for England in the upcoming Euro2020 qualifiers.
He said: "Playing for England with Declan is something we've spoken about for a long, long time.
"Being very, very close friends with him, that was something we always looked forward to something maybe happening in the future - and this chance could happen. It's very exciting."
"We're very, very close, known each other for a very, very long time.
"We've always spoken about that opportunity of maybe playing with each other again.
"Playing with each other at Chelsea at that young age, it was something special between us, so we've always kept that hope of it maybe happening again."
