“When I was a young boy I watched all the FA Cup games at home and now being so close to playing at Wembley is a dream come true for me.

“First of all we just have to focus on the game we need to win to get through.”

The 21-year-old has recently spoken of his Champions League ambitions with Albion, but says it would be a ‘dream to win the FA Cup with the club.’

“My dream would be just to play in the Champions League but it would be great to win the Europa League and a trophy with my country at some point in my career. I am working so hard and giving 100 per cent to win a lot of trophies at club level.”
