Jadon has since been included in Gareth Southgate’s England squad for their upcoming World Cup qualifiers against Andorra and Hungary, although the Three Lions boss suggested his selection was “probably not” deserved if he was basing it on his “performances over the last few weeks.”

“Jadon was exceptional [against Villarreal], he was electric, the crowd loved him!” said Ole, in the second part of his pre-match press conference.
