Assumes fan, streaker, got excited close to end (5,3,7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

takes for granted

'assumes' is the definition.
(taking for granted is a kind of assuming)

'fan streaker got excited close to end' is the wordplay.
'excited' indicates anagramming the letters.
'close to' indicates one should take the final letters (the close/ending of).
The final letter of 'end' is 'd'.
'fan'+'streaker'+'got'='fanstreakergot'
'fanstreakergot' with letters rearranged gives 'takesforgrante'.
'takesforgrante'+'d'='TAKES FOR GRANTED'

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
