Daniel Sturridge believes England have the firepower for success at Euro 2016 this summer.
The Liverpool striker and his Three Lions squad-mates arrived at their base camp in France on Monday afternoon.
And after getting to work at their training ground in Chantilly on Tuesday, Sturridge admits the attacking side of England’s squad contains enough ability to trouble any of their Euro rivals.

"I think we have goals in the team, and we have a lot of players - not just attacking-wise, but in midfield - who add a lot to the team," said Sturridge.
"We have great defensive attributes also, as well as the full-backs who are attacking, so we have a lot of strengths in the squad and we’re just looking forward to it all gelling together and hopefully going out there and having some success.
"It’s just about going into the game with the right mentality and not putting pressure on ourselves.
"And as long as we don’t have any pressure on us from inside our camp, we’ll go out there and have fun - and when you have fun, you have success."
With just four days to go until England’s opening game against Russia in Marseille, thoughts are inevitably turning towards Roy Hodgson’s team selection for Saturday.

After three wins from three warm-up games prior to Monday’s flight to northern France, all of the players have staked their claim for a spot in the line-up.
But with the opportunity to impress in training still remaining before the opener, the former Manchester City and Chelsea man is still aiming to catch Hodgson’s eye.
"For myself, I’m focusing on my abilities on the training field and we’re all doing the same thing, which is training hard and giving the manager a decision - to pick his team," he added.
"I’m always confident in my own abilities - it’s down to the manager to choose the squad and the players, on any given day, which he feels is going to be best to play against each opposition.
"We had a really nice training session today and just, you know, starting preparations now for the upcoming games."
