Greenwood reacts to maiden England call-up

The 18-year-old was last week selected in Gareth Southgate’s England squad for the forthcoming UEFA Nations League fixtures against Iceland and Denmark.

Our no.26 could become one of a handful of teenagers to pull on the Three Lions jersey if chosen to play.

“It’s a dream come true, really,” Greenwood told reporters via Zoom, from England’s Three Lions base at St George’s Park on Tuesday.

“Playing for England and being selected for England is every young boy’s dream. I’m privileged and honoured to be selected because it’s a good group of lads and I’m happy to be here.
