VIDEO: Ezri Konsa opens up on his first England call-up

Aston Villa have been one of the surprise packages of this Premier League season, sitting in fifth place thanks to their good performances under Unai Emery. 

Much of the credit for the Villans' run of form goes to key players such as Emiliano Martinez, Ollie Watkins and Ezri Konsa. The 26-year-old defender, who has never been capped for England despite his age, was included in the Three Lions squad for the 2024 Euro qualifiers following injuries to James Maddison, Callum Wilson and Lewis Dunk.

The England defender told a press conference ahead of England's game against Malta what it means to him to have been given the opportunity to represent his country. Take a look at what the former Brentford player had to say.
