“I think there’s more to come. We can expect more from Cole.

“I am very happy with Cole. The way he has prepared since the first day of pre-season, he has been there, he has shown the desire to enjoy his game.

“I think what he wants is to enjoy his game, to have this good feeling on the pitch, this connection with players around him. If he gets that, the rest will come.

“England will come, more winning games will come, that will come naturally because he’s a top, top-level player. That’s the main thing for him - to feel good.”
