"That's my dream, to play at a World Cup. I am just focusing on my performances. Little by little, I'm trying to add goals but also the all-round performance goals just trying to improve and hopefully it catches the eye of the England manager.

"Years ago I was in Qatar doing rehab for an ACL injury and they were building stadiums and I did say I'd come back and yeah, I have got one eye on it." He said.

Wilson has already scored 4 goals for Newcastle this season in the Premier League with an assist also in 8 matches that he has featured.

Gareth Southgate who is the England manager will name his squad this week with speculations that there will be an overhaul especially after being relegated from the UEFA Nations League.

If called upon by Southgate, it will be Wilson's first international duty on a senior level in a major competition for his country.
