Lanzini dreams of Brazil this summer

|

Hammer Manuel Lanzini is desperate to prove his form and fitness ahead of  Copa America 2019 in Brazil in June in the hope he can represent Argentina.

“It’s my dream and my biggest ambition,” said Lanzini in Saturday’s match day programme.

Lanzini was called-up by Argentina manager Scaloni just days after returning to the pitch in March after his long injury suffered on International duty at the World Cup.

I’m working hard to be fit for West Ham and for the fans and also for Argentina. For every player, it is a dream to be part of the national team and I am no different.

“I have four caps, but I want to win many more and I want to play in a major tournament.”

Argentina are in group B with Paraguay, Columbia and Qatar. The first game kicks off on June 15 with the final on 7th July in Rio de Janeiro
