England international Jesse Lingard reveals he “had to get” Marco Verratti’s jersey when playing Italy. “I always liked him.”
The midfielder went through a collection of shirts he swapped with various stars over the years as part of his YouTube channel content.
“I have always like Verratti as a player,” said Lingard.
“I had to get his shirt. He has got that low centre of gravity and is hard to get the ball off – he's clever.”
