Pope is competing with the likes of Jordan Pickford, Aaron Ramsdale, and Dean Henderson for the starting spot in Gareth Southgate's team.

"Nick, for me, is a first-class goalkeeper," Howe told reporters after a draw with Brighton.

Howe added: "I encourage all my players to dream big and to really go for it.

"Gareth knows Nick inside out and he's performed well in the past for England, so all he can do is continue to impress."
