JAMES Ward-Prowse insists he learns a lot just by being around the England international stars and it is an opportunity he must “not let pass by”, ahead of a potential 10th cap. The England squad is full of serial winners and regular European qualifiers – something he wants to bring back to Saints.
James Ward-Prowse said: “I always come away from the England squad with a lot of respect for those in it and always feel like I’ve gained a lot being around those players. It’s extremely special. I want to make the most of that opportunity, not let it pass me by, make the most of it and come back a more experienced player.”
Ward-Prowse has already been handed nine appearances for the Three Lions by Southgate, and has now been selected in each of his last three international squads. He has registered two goals for his country, coming versus San Marino and Andorra in 2021.
James Ward-Prowse added: “To be in and around that squad is extremely special. And I’m looking to make sure I can maximise as much of the opportunity as I can and take every ounce of the experience I can to develop my game.”
Ward-Prowse was the sole Saints star in the England squad at the time it was initially announced – but not any more.
