The full-back has shown tremendous quality in Germany, where he is on loan till the end of the season with Bundesliga Campaigners, Schalke.

The 22-year old has been an ever-present in the team, and his performances saw him named as Rookie of the Month in August and another nomination in the month of September.

Nevertheless, he understands the task ahead as a young player if he is to break into the three Lions having seen the likes of Ademola Lookman and Tom Davies both of who are Everton product still yet to get a call up to the national team despite impressive displays last season.

England will face Bulgaria on Thursday in the Euro 2020 Qualifiers in the UK, the last meeting between both sides ended in a 6-0 win for the Three Lions in Sofia amidst several Racist activities against England players.
