Commenting on his latest arrival, Southgate said: "Alfie is a brilliant young player and someone I’ve had the pleasure of working with since he was 7 or 8 years old. He possesses a fantastic left foot and is predominantly a midfield player, although he’s more than capable of playing in a variety of positions.

He has desire to improve, he is eager to learn and has shown consistent development over the past few years. He’s a talented player with a bright future ahead of him, and I’m really looking forward to working with him again as he makes the step up to step 4."
