Speaking to Weekend Warmup, he said: "He's always encouraging me, I don't feel the pressure at all.

"He has always being telling me from young just go and express yourself so I don't feel no pressure whenever I'm stepping on the pitch.

"I remember as a kid just going to watch him and some of the skills, some of the performances, the assists, the goals he used to get were outrageous.

"Maybe one day I can produce better than him."
