Eric Dier believes there is 'so much more to come' from Ruben Loftus-Cheek after the Chelsea youngster's impressive England debut against Germany on Friday night.

21-year-old midfielder Loftus-Cheek, who is currently on loan at Crystal Palace, produced a performance of maturity and class in the goalless draw against the world champions.

And while Dier was encouraged by what he saw from fellow midfielder, he also urged people not to get 'too carried away'.

The Tottenham man said: 'Everyone's known about Ruben's potential for a long time.

'It's great that he's now playing regular football week in, week out for Crystal Palace. That can only allow him to fulfil his potential. Hopefully this is another step in his progression.

'There's so much more to come from him, but there's no point getting too carried away at this points. He's a good boy and he still has a lot to work on, like all of us.'

Loftus-Cheek advanced through Chelsea's youth ranks but barely received any first-team game time in three seasons with them.

He has already started six Premier League matches while on loan for Palace, as many as he has managed in his time with Chelsea so far.

Dier added: 'He showed a great attitude, willing to get on the ball anywhere, with the confidence to do that and that's fantastic and great to see.

'Ruben is a big boy. He's been the same since he was 12 I think. He's strong, he's got great physicality, he moves the ball really well.

'There's fantastic potential there and hopefully he keeps working hard to fulfil it.'

England are next in action against Brazil in another Wembley friendly on Tuesday night.
