"?Stoke City's Spanish forward Bojan Krkic has given Roy Hodgson's England team a vote of confidence ahead of their opening Euro 2016 game against Russia on Saturday.
The 25-year-old spoke of the influence that Tottenham's English players will have on the national team, describing them as having the flair and quality needed to earn England success.
Bojan also eased concerns over the Three Lion's defensive frailties, stating that Eric Dier will be a vital protective force in front of the defence.
Writing in the "?Daily Mail, the former Barcelona forward said:
"The attacking talent, with Harry Kane and Jamie Vardy, speaks for itself and with Wayne Rooney, Jack Wilshere and Dele Alli pulling the strings in midfield, it should be a really exciting time to watch England.
"I played for Stoke against Tottenham this season and the full backs Kyle Walker and Danny Rose have superb energy and quality," he added. "I hope they have the same freedom for England."
Bojan also spoke out about his sympathy for Everton defender John Stones, who has come under heavy criticism this season for 'overplaying' in dangerous situations.
"I have sympathy for Stones.
"People jump to conclusions but he is still only 22 and learning. He has excellent quality on the ball and will become a great player but you need to allow him to breathe and develop.
"There is no point only highlighting individuals here. Clearly, the whole team and coaching staff have a responsibility to stop England conceding and not only centre backs.
"Eric Dier will provide a crucial screen in front of the back four but defending begins from the front and you must defend as a block.
"The pressing has to be in sync and if one player vacates his position to commit to a tackle or go forward, then somebody else needs to fill in. It is up to the coach and the team as a whole to find that game plan and stick to it properly."
The Stoke City forward, who scored seven Premier League goals last season, went on to tip Tottenham's Harry Kane to become the tournaments top goalscorer.
"I'll be watching the forwards closely during this tournament but Harry Kane is my tip for the Golden Boot. England must play to his strengths but I really think he has everything.
"He is very confident, he is powerful physically and technically excellent. I've enjoyed watching his rise since I came to England two seasons ago and he can take Europe by storm this tournament. He's good in the air, composed one-on-one and you almost expect him to score every time he plays."
