Solly March says he has "probably" never had a better chance of earning an England call-up.
But his focus will remain firmly on helping Albion push for Europe.
The Seagulls wideman is in the form of his life – and has added a goalscoring touch to his game.
He would love to impress senior England boss Gareth Southgate, one of two managers under whom he played in the under-21s.
The 28-year-old believes his chances will be enhanced if Albion continue to fly high in the Premier League.
March said: “Obviously you want to represent your country, it’s a big honour.
“Now is probably the biggest chance I have to do that.
“I just need to keep going and keep scoring goals and put in the performance.
“It’s an ambition of mine so if I keep putting in performances and scoring goals I think I have a chance.”
March was capped three times by the under-21s, the last of them under Aidy Boothroyd, for whom he also played four times in the under-20s.
Albion’s XI which kicked off the 1-1 draw at Crystal Palace featured five players who have recently been part of senior international squads.
March said: “If you are playing for a club who are doing well in the league, you never know.
“If everyone puts in the effort and we end up in Europe, who knows if they can get a call up?”
