Roy Hodgson has likened Tom Cleverley to Cesc Fabregas, while England captain Steven Gerrard has also tipped the midfielder for a bright future.
The Three Lions skipper said: "Tom is going to be a good player. He is only a young boy. Games like that in Moldova will be fantastic experience for him. "He is playing for one of the biggest clubs in Europe and he has broken into the England team so he has got a fantastic future. "He keeps learning the game, keeps trying to improve, he is going to be a top player." When asked if Cleverley could fill the role on Wayne Rooney's return, Gerrard said: "We will have to wait and see but he is doing a good job. "He's played there twice now, against Italy and against Moldova, and he has done himself no harm at all. "He can also play as a midfielder as well. It's important when you are young to play in a couple of different positions. It helps you get into starting elevens and he can do that."
