The midfielder was open about wanting to play against the 23-year-old.

"He [Gordon] has been amazing," said Guimaraes. "He is so quick. When he's on the ball we know he will do something special. No one at the club deserves to be in the England squad more than him. He has been unbelievable for us, he is always scoring and assisting.

"He deserves to be there, and he is a lovely guy as well. I'm very happy for him. I hope he can get some minutes in the England squad and I think for me to play against him would be massive for both us and the club as well."
