Everton striker Dominic Calvert-Lewin is in awe of England team-mate Jack Grealish.

The Aston Villa playmaker assisted Calvert-Lewin for his first England goal in the friendly win over Wales last October.

Asked who stood out most during his first experience with the England squad, Calvert-Lewin told the Sky Sports Super Six podcast: "My favourite player was Jack Grealish; top man!

"He is a naturally gifted footballer and for me, he is a joy to watch. If I could watch any player play, it would be him. He can do everything - he is exciting and tries to make things happen.

"I see him up close in training - because he is a relaxed guy, as soon as he is on the training pitch and the ball comes out, he is operating on a different level.

"For me to play with him as a centre-forward, they are the type of guys you want to play with because he is making things happen and he set my debut goal up.

"It was only a matter of time until he got his chance, he just had to stay consistent and keep doing what he was doing. When he played I thought he played really well."
