Bournemouth youngster Lewis Cook hopes to follow in the footsteps of Bobby Moore as he gets set for England debut

Lewis Cook's career is already linked with Bobby Moore and he now hopes to make his England debut in a fixture forever associated with the great defender.

In June, the Bournemouth midfielder became England's first World Cup-winning captain since Moore in 1966 - albeit in the Under-20 edition of the tournament.

That achievement played a big part in manager Gareth Southgate's decision to promote Cook to the seniors for the friendly against Brazil alongside fellow rookies Angus Gunn and Dominic Solanke.

Moore's performance against the same opponents at the 1970 World Cup forms another major part of his legacy, as does the classic picture of him shaking hands with Pele in the aftermath.
