The 20-year-old winger looked to be flagging midway through the season but has been rejuvenated in recent weeks and believes that form can continue. "I think I will be able to cope," he said. "Someone like Steven Gerrard plays twice the number of games I have this season and he had the World Cup last summer as well. I am looking forward to the finals with England, if selected."


England have qualified for the eight-team finals alongside Portugal, Italy, the Czech Republic, Serbia, Israel, Belgium and hosts Netherlands, and Agbonlahor is looking forward to showcasing his talents on the international stage. "It is a championship where people can make their names. Some teams in there will have top-class players you can pit yourself against. It will be a good tournament."
