Sessegnon: "We want to win the title"

Ryan, you were called up to the England squad for the U21 European Championships. What does the call-up mean to you?

"It is an immense honour to receive a call-up for my country. It's a very important tournament and we have big ambitions with the team."

You brother Steven has also been called up. How much are you looking forward to this experience together?

"It's a very big moment for our family. Two brothers at a high level in the same squad – that's probably very rare. I'm really looking forward to seeing him and playing alongside him."

England are seen as one of the leading contenders. What are your aims?

"The team is unbelievable good. We have extremely strong players in our squad. We of course want to win the title. That's our clear objective and we definitely have the potential to do so."

You'll be up against Portugal, Croatia and Switzerland in Group D. What's your take on your opponents?

"They're strong opponents, and of course we have the necessary respect for them. We have played against them in the recent past and we already know them. But we only focus on ourselves because we know that we are strong enough to beat all the teams."
