Formerly a Southampton player, Tadic has plenty of personal experience of English football, and he reflected on the improvements to the England team since his departure from the country in 2018.

"I think this is a new generation, but I think also it's very important the coaches that you bring in the Premier League," Tadic said.

"For example, [Pep] Guardiola, [Mikel] Arteta, they improve so many players and they raise them really high.

"I think a lot of players, they grow with these coaches. They're now one of the top players, and definitely this is one of the biggest reasons (for England's improvement)."

Aaron Ramsdale may have had a quieter season this year, but his move to Arsenal also brought him as close as he's ever been to breaking into England's starting lineup.

But Tadic was also likely referring to the indirect benefit of having such strong coaches in the Premier League.

The likes of Kieran Trippier, Marc Guehi, and Kobbie Mainoo don't play under Guardiola or Arteta, but they face their teams on a regular basis.

If they do eventually lift a major international trophy, Tadic clearly believes Guardiola and Arteta will have played a role in that.
