Since breaking onto the scene as a child many years ago, the speedster’s game has drastically diminished, but when he’s on, he’s still a terrific talent.

His most recent England appearance came in July of last year, but given his current form, supporters are talking about a potential comeback to Gareth Southgate’s side.
