Grealish: I would love to be like Gazza & cement my place in the England team

Jack Grealish has welcomed comparisons between himself and England legend Paul Gascoigne, while outlining his ambition to cement a place in Gareth Southgate's team.

Grealish made his long-awaited England debut when coming on as a substitute during a 0-0 draw against Denmark in the UEFA Nations League last month, before receiving a second successive call-up for the latest round of international fixtures.

The Aston Villa midfielder was handed his first senior start for the Three Lions as Wales arrived at Wembley for a friendly clash on Thursday night, and he produced a stellar display to help Southgate's side secure a comfortable 3-0 victory.
