And after an impressive start to the season, Oyedele has been called up to the senior Poland squad for the first time.

Salford-born, Oyedele qualifies for Poland through his mother.

Father Ayo Oyedele recently said: “Since he was a child, he admired pivots the most . His favourite player has always been Paul Pogba , but he also really appreciates N'Golo Kante. My son really enjoys watching them and analysing their game.

"He is closer to Poland than to Nigeria , where I come from and whose colours he could also represent. He has only been to Africa once in his life, but he came to Poland quite often; I was with him here more than ten times . Although he grew up in England, he always felt at home in Poland, it is his second home. He knows the culture and the language."
