'Absolutely sensational': Alan Shearer amazed by £30m player Chelsea sold, backs him for England
Alan Shearer has been full of praise for one player Chelsea sold after his performances this season.
He told ‘The Rest is Football’ that Tino Livramento should be called up for the England squad after impressing greatly this season.
Saturday saw him put in another strong display in the dominant 1-0 win over Manchester United.#
Chelsea’s opponents for Wednesday night were on the end of a rough evening at St. James’ Park, with the scoreline actually flattering the Red Devils.
Livramento has taken his chance in the starting side brilliantly, and continues to thrive after being sold by Chelsea a few seasons ago.
Shearer has now claimed that he should be considered by Gareth Southgate for the upcoming England games.
Shearer praises Livramento
He said: “He looks a very, very talented young player. Incredibly quick, powerful, great engine up and down the line there, Alan. He is one of those players that is 21 and he is available to play for England, Scotland and Portugal.
“I think Gareth Southgate needs to get on the phone to him, I know there is no games he can play in for a little while, but you would, wouldn’t you? He plays on both sides as well and I know right-back we have lots of really great right-backs and Luke Shaw is a really good left-back but definitely a really good player for the future.
“He has played for England at almost every level up until now. I would really hope that someone has already, and if they haven’t then they should rather quickly, get on the phone to him and tell him he has a big future in the England squad – whether that is at right-back or left-back.
“Because I am sure Newcastle bought him, they spent £30 million, and he did have a serious injury but there has always been that thing around him where he has huge potential and he’s a very good player, but I didn’t realise how good a player he was until I saw him at Newcastle, in a Newcastle shirt.
“When you consider some of the big games he has played in already this season, whether that is at right-back or like it was vs Man United at left-back, he has been absolutely sensational.”
While there will be some regrets that the Blues sold Livramento, it is obvious Reece James has a big future at the club as the current captain.
