He believes he will have no other option but to go in order to save his international career if The Whites are in Division One next season.

"If we go down, then obviously it will be time to move on, for the sake of my England career as well," said the 23-year-old. "But never have I come out and said I'd leave if we stayed up. If we stay in the Premiership, who knows? This is the club I've always wanted to play for.

"Whoever is in charge now will probably have decided already whether I stay or go in the summer, irrespective of whether we stay up."
