Tottenham winger Aaron Lennon
has let his thoughts drift to next year’s World Cup after a stellar
start to the season.
With the Spurs flying high and Lennon producing blinding
performances, there is no wonder that he has been called up to
Fabio Capello’s squad for upcoming World Cup qualifiers against
Slovenia and Croatia at Wembley.
Lennon has already experienced World Cup action, making three
substitute appearances in Germany 2006 as a teenager but
international action quickly dried up for him following those
highs.
Now, the 22-year old is determined to continue his current form
and become an integral part of the national team.
“The last World Cup was definitely the highlight of my career,”
he said.
“I’ve never experienced anything like it. I have great memories
of it and I’m definitely hoping to go to the next one.
“My aim has always been to cement a place on the right hand side
for England, but there are so many quality players out there it
will be difficult. But if I keep playing well then I’ve got a
chance.
“It’s not just because it’s World Cup year, I’ve always wanted
to be in the England side because I’ve been in it before and been
in it quite a bit from 2006.”
