"The amount of assists Harry has got over the past couple of years and over his career is outstanding and, for me personally, I think it helps me because my style suits playing with that style of striker because I can run off them."
"If defenders want to go and engage with them, I can run off the back, so I think it is really positive for me and I really enjoy it."
