“He is enjoying playing with the 21s. Obviously, the 19s have important games coming up and he wants to play in those games.

“It was him that wanted to play in those games which I think is testament to himself.

“He just wants to play football and get as many minutes in the tank as possible. And enjoy playing with his age group that he’s grown up with and playing against and with over the years. I just like to see him enjoying playing football.

“The world is his oyster. He can be the player he thinks he can be. He’s confident but he’s not arrogant with it, if that makes sense. He just needs to concentrate on his club football and the rest will take care of itself.”
