Lewis-Skelly later said: "I'm lost for words.

"I am so grateful for the manager to put trust in me. I am so happy. The fans made me feel at home so thank you to them."

England teammate Jude Bellingham said: "When you come into the team there are a lot of lads here to help you out.

"We wanted to do what we could to help him enjoy it and I think he did."

Tuchel also stated: "Amazing player.

"Amazing personality. He came into camp and showed straight away that it's normal to fall in love with him. It is well deserved."
