LONDON (Reuters) - England's creative midfielder Jack Grealish says he is thriving on the comparisons being made between him and one of the country's most audacious playmakers Paul Gascoigne.

Grealish's ability to go past players and create and score goals has prompted some to compare him to Gazza, as he is known to England fans, who became one of the most sought-after players in the world after dazzling at the 1990 World Cup in Italy.
