Queens Park Rangers young star Eberechi Eze has spoken of his happiness after receiving his maiden call-up to England U20 side.
The former Arsenal youth-teamer had been invited to train with the Super Eagles at their get-together in London last year but has been overlooked for selection by manager Gernot Rohr in the last eighteen months.
The English Football Association have moved fast to cap Eze following his imperious displays for Queens Park Rangers this season.
''You want to be called up for international football and it is a great honour to have been. It’s a really good milestone for me,'' says Eze to www.qpr.co.uk.
''I found out on Thursday night. I got a bit of an inkling from the Doctor as the FA had spoken to him and I’m really excited.
''It will be a good experience, I’ve never been involved before so I am looking forward to seeing what it is like.''
Eze is among fifteen players of Nigerian descent called up to England's youth teams for international fixtures in October but the attacking midfielder is the only player on the books of second-tier club.
