The Nottingham Forest midfielder has enjoyed a stellar start to his senior international career, having been in Thomas Tuchel’s starting XI for the last three games.

The latest of those came in Thursday's 3-0 friendly win over Wales, where he put in another accomplished display on his Wembley bow.

He appears to have made the deep-lying number six position his own but is not getting carried away ahead of an anticipated fourth outing in Latvia tomorrow.

“T have got to keep going,” he said. “Ttis only three games, so I have got to do a lot more than that.

“I am just focusing on what I can bring to the team and (will be) just trying to help the team out really.

“The team spirit has been very important. It’s a top team and top lads, as well.

“They have really helped me and I have felt at home ever since the first day I came in. It helps a lot to bring the good out in players”
