And he has also prove to be a hot shot for the Three Lions under Gareth Southgate, who has credited the 27-year-old as one of England’s main goal threats under his regime.

Now Raheem has created a series of podcasts with mental health app Headspace to help his fans deal with the stresses and strains of everyday life.

He said: “Mental training, through meditation, is as important as physical training – doing it regularly helps me to have a much calmer, clearer and sharper mind.

“When we are in a good mindset, our potential is limitless. Meditation is a great practice – once I learnt how to train the mind, I had the power over my mind, not vice-versa, which was a game-changer.”
