Phil Foden insists he has no concerns over comparisons to Paul Gascoigne as he targets European Championship glory with England.
The Manchester City forward courted further similarities as he arrived at St George's Park to continue preparations for Sunday's opener against Croatia with dyed blond hair.
Gascoigne sported the same style during Euro 96 as he shone in England's run to the semi-finals and Foden is aiming to go one better, having regained the trust of England boss Gareth Southgate after being sent home from duty last year.
"Obviously I made a massive mistake, I was young," he said.
"But Gareth said if I keep just doing well and keep performing I should get another opportunity. So I had to work hard for it and there are not many managers who would give you another opportunity so I have to thank Gareth a lot for giving me another chance.
Asked if his new look was a tribute to Gascoigne, Foden added: "I've had the same haircut for what seems like ages now so I thought I'd just try something new.
"I woke up this morning with a lot of comparisons to Gazza and Eminem so yeah it was my own thing and people have turned it into something else.
"They (his England team-mates) have said that they've liked it so it's a positive. It's all been positive – which I've been surprised about."
