“Yeah, of course, it’s amazing. Obviously, I’m away with England at the moment so my focus is on the game tomorrow but for him to sign back for the club and, for me, he is the greatest player to play the game.

“It’s amazing to have him at the club and I’m sure he’s going to have a huge impact on and off the field, and many players can look and learn and improve, and then, obviously, it’s going to improve our team as well with his goalscoring record.

“So it’s amazing to have him in the club and I’m looking forward to meeting him in a few days,” Maguire said at a press conference ahead of England’s hat-trick of World Cup qualifiers this month.
