Wes Morgan has said that winning the CONCACAF Gold Cup would represent an "incredible achievement" for Jamaica.

Winfried Schafer's side take on Mexico in Philadelphia for tonight's final, and the defender says that the Reggae Boyz - who eliminated host nation USA in the semis - can go all the way.

The 31-year-old played a prominent role as Leicester City won their Premier League relegation battle last term, and the captain hopes to continue defying the odds with his national team.

"To go on and win it would be another incredible achievement for me and for the team," he told the Foxes' official website.

"It would go right up there with winning promotion to the Premier League with Leicester and our successful fight to stay there last season.

"The whole journey has been one of the best experiences of my career."

Kickoff is scheduled for 12:30am (BST).
