Andy Carroll: "Sometimes I will sit with my girlfriend and think, 'I can’t believe I was at Newcastle last year, and now I am here with all this going on around me.'
"But I’m taking it in my stride – that’s the most important thing.
"I feel a little bit more like I’m part of the [England] squad, but obviously I’ve still got a lot of time to work on things, and hopefully be in the squad more.
"I know I’m not going to be in the team every time, so that’s something to work on.
"I think players like Jack Wilshere and some of the others coming through is great for England.
"I feel I’m playing well and I was delighted to have got my first goal for England against Ghana recently."
