I don’t believe he has a limit. I don’t think he’s doing what anyone else has done at his age in midfield, Miss Aluko, whose brother, Sone, was a Nigeria international, told talkSPORTS.
“We are dealing with a true superstar. His work rate, even just the little ugly bits – stopping, blocking, fouling, getting tackles in, he does it all. From an attacking point of view he gives England another dimension.
“You need a bit of edge. The best players have an edge and I think he has a controlled edge.”
