Michael Dawson has spoken of his desire to win a place in Fabio Capello's England squad alongside Tottenham team-mate Jonathan Woodgate.

The Spurs stopper has been in fine form since the January arrival of Woodgate and has struck up a promising partnership with the England man.

And having impressed again at the weekend against Middlesbrough, with Capello in the stands, Dawson has set his sights on a call-up.

"Woody's a great player and he's been fantastic since he arrived," he told the club's official website.

"He's been a great signing for the club. I've been hoping to get my first cap for a long time, but all I can do is keep playing well for Spurs and put in good performances."

Dawson has previously won 13 caps for the England U21 side.
