Charlie Cresswell (24) has said that earning a call-up to England’s senior team is his “biggest dream”. The Stade Rennais defender had been a regular for the Three Lions at U21 level, but has yet to make his senior debut.

Cresswell was a regular at the back for the U21s and was twice a European champion with the side. He now wants to make the step up, as he told Get French Football News.
