​Everton star Calvert-Lewin unfazed with backup role for England captain Kane | OneFootball

Everton striker Dominic Calvert-Lewin has no problem playing a back up role on international duty.

Calvert-Lewin enjoyed an excellent season on an individual level for his club in the Premier League.

But the sharp shooter has to be content with a place on the bench as Tottenham star Harry Kane leads the line for the Three Lions.

Kane is likely to start up front as England take on Scotland on Friday in the second game of their Euro 2020 group stage campaign.

"I just make sure I am ready," said Calvert-Lewin to the Evening Standard.

"Harry is the captain of the team and he is the man leading the line at the moment. At the start of the game I wish him all the best and want him to score. If he scores, more than likely we win games.

"My role is to just try to be as ready as I can for when I'm called upon.

"From a young boy I dreamed of playing for my country and coming to a major tournament, and as a young kid you dream of playing, perhaps not sitting on the bench. But if that's my role, then so be it — and I'll do it to the best of my ability.

"Only one player can play No9, so for me I'm ambitious. I'm 24, I've made my way into the England squad. We all have our own personal goals and ambitions. For me, it's to lead the line for England."
