Adam Lallana has 10 goals and eight assists in the Premier League this season for Southampton.
Mauricio Pochettino believes Lallana is one of the best midfielders in the world and he has possibly earned a spot on Roy Hodgson's England squad for the World Cup.
"We haven't seen a player like that in this country for a long time," Pochettino told reporters.
"Lately he has had a number of opportunities to get into the England national side so that is a very good thing for him.
"I am always telling him that he has the characteristics of a Spanish player and he has the skills of an [Andres] Iniesta, Xavi or [Cesc] Fabregas."
