Former Arsenal boss, Arsene Wenger, believes England have young players capable of reaching the heights of Lionel Messi.
Wenger admits Kylian Mbappe and Paris Saint-Germain team-mate Neymar are the two obvious contenders to fill the void when they drop off.

“But England I believe has a good chance. Now they are doing very well at youth level.
