Southgate likens West Ham whiz Morrison to Gazza

England U21 coach Gareth Southgate has likened West Ham United youngster Ravel Morrison to Paul Gascoigne.

Southgate, England's Under-21 boss, had no hesitation picking him for the San Marino and Lithuania games.

He said: "We've got at least three players - maybe more - who have the ability to do things that are out of the ordinary like Gazza and Ravel is one of those.

"That ability to go past somebody, as Ravel did and Raheem Sterling and Wilf Zaha can do. I suspect they learnt that in street football, in a park, in cage football, whatever."
