'A surreal moment' - Godfrey reveals reaction to maiden England call-up to provisional Euros squad

The Toffees man, one of four uncapped players called upon by Gareth Southgate, says that it is a 'dream' to be brought into the international fold

Ben Godfrey says that his maiden England call-up was "a surreal moment", after the Everton centre-back was included in the Three Lions' provisional squad ahead of Euro 2020.

The Toffees man, arguably the surprise pick of Gareth Southgate's selection, is one of four uncapped players included a week out from the deadline to register a 26-man group for the tournament.

The ex-Norwich defender, who swapped Carrow Road for Goodison Park last summer, has enjoyed a promising debut campaign on Merseyside, and acknowledged that it has been a "dream" to be selected, even as he faces stiff competition to make the final cut.
