Demarai Gray hoping to emulate former room-mate Tammy Abraham and earn senior England call up... and a spot on the plane to the World Cup

Tammy Abraham's promotion to the England team has left former room-mate Demarai Gray dreaming of the World Cup.

Striker Abraham, midfielder Ruben Loftus-Cheek and defender Joe Gomez were all called into the senior squad for the first time for the friendly games against Germany and Brazil.

The trio's elevation, along with previous Under-21 team-mates Harry Winks, Nathaniel Chalobah and Nathan Redmond in recent squads, has led to speculation over who might be next.
