Jude Bellingham believes the time has come for England to win major trophies.
The Real Madrid star is set to lead the Three Lions this week when they take on Australia in a friendly before facing Italy in a Euro 2024 qualifier.
He spoke to Reach Football about his ambitions for the future and said: “My goal for the next 12 months with the England team will be the same for the next 10-15 years: try to win major tournaments.
“I think we can't shy away from saying that now. We've come close in the last few tournaments, and to now go back and say: 'Ah yeah, that was enjoyable, but now we have to be more realistic'...I don't see the point. We should use the experiences we've got from previous tournaments to push on and bring some silverware home."
He added: “In the last few years it's been a case of hiding that expectation, so that we never fail. We've got to be willing to say it, so we can achieve it.
“If you look at the progress we've made in the last few tournaments, it's important that we have that mentality and we do believe we can win the tournament."
Bellingham has been sensational since his arrival to Real Madrid in a new advanced role under Carlo Ancelotti.
He has racked up ten goals in ten matches for Los Blancos thus far.
