"I know I've got the ability to do it, I've just got to express myself and hopefully catch Roy Hodgson's eye.
"I've had a good run at West Ham so I know I'm getting there, all I've got to do is work hard and hopefully that call-up will come in the near future."
Having arrived on loan from Arsenal in the summer and missed the start of the season due to a hamstring injury, the No18 is now feeling up to speed after a solid run of games.
He continued: "It has been positive and a great run for the team. We're unbeaten in five games so that's a good sign of where this Club's going, and personally it's the first time I've had a run of games in a couple of years now and I'm really happy with it.
"I'm really finding my feet and trying to contribute defensively and going forward as well.
"It was nice to keep a clean sheet on Saturday, I got an assist a couple of weeks ago and I want to add to that. I want to get as near to ten assists as I can this year. It's going to be tough but that's my aim."
