'I can play for England' - Rangers star sets sights on Three Lions call-up despite domestic struggles as 2026 World Cup looms

Aarons has faced a challenging start at Rangers, with the club performing poorly in the Scottish Premiership and suffering a humiliating 6-0 defeat to Club Brugge in the Champions League play-off, where he received a red card after just eight minutes. This has limited his playing time, as he managed only 17 minutes in the last four league matches, struggling to secure a starting position.

Despite these difficulties, Aarons showed a glimpse of his potential by scoring a brilliant winning goal in the dying moments against Livingston, indicating he could regain the form that once made him a top prospect in his younger years.

As a European Under-21 champion with England in 2023, Aarons has experienced international success and dreams of earning a senior England call-up. In an interview, he expressed his belief that joining Rangers could help him make a significant impact, emphasizing the importance of consistent playtime to achieve his goals and stating he will work hard to stand out and attract attention from the England set-up.

Aarons' career has been a rollercoaster, from being highly valued at Norwich under Daniel Farke to facing limited opportunities at Bournemouth due to injuries and competition, followed by a loan to Valencia where game time remained scarce. Now on loan at Rangers, he aims to turn things around, acknowledging past struggles and hoping to showcase his best form for the fans.

With a new manager expected after Russell Martin's sacking, Aarons sees this as a fresh start and has sought guidance from Ashley Cole, a Chelsea and England legend, whose mentorship has been invaluable in helping him improve his game and regain confidence.

Although England's upcoming fixtures are too soon for Aarons to be considered, he remains optimistic about eventually playing for the national team, hoping that his performances in Scotland will catch the eye of selectors like Thomas Tuchel as he continues to focus on his development step by step.
