Already compared to the Welsh wizard by Theo Walcott this summer, Livramento is a leading contender for player of the tournament at the Euros after helping the Young Lions reach the semi-finals with victory over Spain on Saturday.

Livramento was at the heart of a 22-man brawl at the final whistle, having produced another accomplished performance for Lee Carsley’s men.

His form over the last 12 months has seen the player linked with a move to Manchester City, although there hasn't been a bid yet for the player with talk of a paltry £45million valuation on his head.
