The Liverpool striker has talked up his chances of competing in the summer showpiece telling Dutch newspaper De Telegraaf: "If I show the same here as I did in the recent months at Liverpool, I don't have to worry.

"I think I will be a part of the squad.

"I am convinced that I can be important to my country. Few players can be compared to me style-wise."
