The France international has said that it will be "a dream" to play this summer at the EUROs in France.

Lucas Digne was thrilled to be named in Didier Deschamps’ squad for Euro 2016 and dreams of a third European title for France.

“I’m going to the Euros to win it,” the 20-year-old told Goal. “I can only speak for myself, of course, but I go into every game to win it - as I think all footballers do. We place great expectations on ourselves just like the French people have. 

“It is a boyhood dream to be a part of Les Bleus playing such a big tournament in our own country.”

Digne thanked Roma for helping him into the squad, he said, “I am really happy to be in the France squad,

“I am proud to play for my country, and it is the perfect climax to what has been a truly fantastic season for my team Roma and I. 

“We have hit an amazingly high level and a super streak of 17 games without losing - that’s almost half a season! Our confidence in ourselves as a team has only been growing. I have a feel like family with the guys in the squad and the staff around us.”
