Yet English football’s elite clubs believe he can be prised away.

Frankfurt value the winger at around £44million and that price tag may rise even higher should he help knock England out the World Cup.

Croatia face Gareth Southgate’s team in Moscow on Wednesday for a place in Sunday’s final.

France await the winner having beaten Belgium 1-0 on Tuesday.
