Jadon Sancho said that Raheem Sterling had helped him a lot since he had broken into the English configuration.

Sancho made his competitive debut for the Three Lions in the 5-0 European qualifying win against the Czech Republic on Friday and received a lot of advice from Sterling.

The striker in the form of Manchester City scored a hat trick that night and, although he is only 24 years old, played a leading role with Sancho and the new call-up Callum Hudson-Odoi from Chelsea.

Sancho said: "He is a great player, he shows all the young people what he is talking about.

"I'm sure he's going to go far in his career and I'm just happy to share a lot with him.

"He's cool, he talks to me and Callum about what to do and what not to do, and he advises us.

"It's very good, especially since he's from London. He knows the environment I come from.

"He helped me a lot, but it was not just him, everyone put us at ease, as well as Callum, and made us feel that we were welcome."

Sancho had a good time in the second half when he was joined on the pitch by fellow U17 World Cup winner and good friend Hudson-Odoi, who made his senior debut.

"It's amazing to play with him," Sancho said.

"I've always played with him through young people, so it's nice to have a close friend with me."

"I'm sure he'll be proud to debut at Wembley, his family will be proud of him and I'm just happy that everyone is doing well.

"It just shows that if you give young people a chance, they have something to prove and Callum does it in Chelsea and that's why he's in the team because the coach believes in him." .

"He was very good on a v and that's what we need in the England team."

Sancho could have another highlight on the horizon as he turns 19 on Monday as England resume the fight against Montenegro.

Striker Borussia Dortmund created Sterling's first goal Friday night, but think there is still much to be done.

"I think it could have been better, yours were not sharp," he added.

"But I'm just happy to be on the field and start my first competitive game and happy to help first base.

"I have a lot of improvements to make on the pitch and in the next match against Montenegro, if I have the opportunity, I am sure I will do better.

"I did not think it would happen quickly.

"It shows that if they give you a chance and you do well, anything is possible, and I'm just happy to be chosen to be part of this team."
