Tottenham Hotspur midfielder Dele Alli has admitted that he was "speechless" when told that he was included in the England senior squad for the first time.

The 19-year-old, who has played just eight first-team games for Spurs, was named in a 24-man party for upcoming Euro 2016 qualifiers against Estonia and Lithuania.

"I was speechless," Alli told Tottenham's official website. "It's been a really good start to the season for me, I maybe didn't expect it to go this well.

"At the start of the season I set myself a target to try to become a regular in the Under-21s and try to get a few starts in the Premier League.

"Obviously, I've got a few starts already, so it's been a great start and I can't thank the players and staff enough for helping me settle in and play as well as I have been. It's a great chance for me to show what I can do, show the manager and all the players."

Alli was bought by Spurs in February from MK Dons, but did not join up with the Premier League club until the summer.
