Manchester City's Nico O'Reilly is just getting "better and better", says former Premier League striker Clinton Morrison.
The versatile defender and midfielder played in a more fluid role behind City's attackers against Newcastle on Saturday and scored two goals in the 2-1 win.
With the World Cup fast approaching in the summer, O'Reilly, 20, will be looking to prove himself in the final weeks of the season and earn a place in Thomas Tuchel's England squad.
"He probably wants to play in that midfield role, but will he play that for England? I'm not sure," Morrison said on BBC Radio 5 Live's Football Daily podcast.
"I think his position for England will probably be at left-back which, you ask any youngster representing their country and going to a World Cup, you play anywhere. But he's been outstanding. His finishes [against Newcastle] were brilliant, and he just improves.
"He gets better and better, and that helps when you're playing with the likes of Bernardo Silva, Rodri, these type of players that will help you at a young age. He's so mature, even his interviews after, but I think he's a fantastic talent.
"He was a midfielder anyway when he came through the academy. He was a number 10, so him scoring goals, it's probably no different to what he's been doing in the academy or in the youth team. But Pep has thrown him in at left-back before when they had injuries and he was outstanding.
"I think he's a brilliant player and he will be a starter for England at the World Cup, the way he's playing at the moment."
