Gerrard: Tav’s Lion for future
STEVEN GERRARD believes James Tavernier is performing so well he could go on to play for England.
Gareth Southgate is spoiled for choice at rightback with Kieran Trippier, Kyle Walker and Trent Alexander-arnold all vying for the position.
But Gerrard reckons Rangers skipper Tavernier has to be on the radar the way he has been performing this season.
He said: “You have to look at what's out there. You have Kyle Walker, Trent, Trippier. Top players.
“But James has been magnificent. I thought he was very good, leading up to his new contract, and I thought he deserved that.
“He's been even better since he signed it. He's gone to another level. He's becoming an animal out of possession.
“Going forward, he's the best, he will create goals and he'll score big goals – whether it's free-kicks or penalties.
“If we can help him in certain ways to improve, I think we definitely have a Premier League footballer, who's capable of playing down in England.
"He's blessed with a natural physique that means he can shift through the gears and when he does, he's unstoppable.
"He's a top player, who took on the captaincy really well. He's great to have around the place.” Get all the fight analysis from our man in Vegas as Conor Mcgregor makes comeback Join Mirror Football for all the build-up and top match action as Klopp takes on Pep Can Lewis Hamilton go a long way to sealing a fifth title?
