Allen has been inspired in recent weeks in the Swansea City midfield and hot on the heels of his first goal against Cardiff he put in a man of the match performance in Saturday's victory over Norwich at the Liberty Stadium.

And those performances have led Britton to heap praise on the youngster as he told the Western Mail “You can see the similarities between Aaron (Ramsey) and Joe, they are both obviously massive talents. I haven’t seen too much of Ramsey but he looks very comfortable on the ball and can pick a pass out. Joe can do that too and they are quite similar in style.

“For a 19-year-old you can see he is a big talent. He is improving in every game.

“That is naturally a big boost for Welsh football. Hopefully they can continue to improve because they are both still very young.

“It was another great performance from Joe.

“He has been brilliant ever since he came into the team against Barnsley back in December. He changed the game that day and, from that game onwards, he has been in superb form.

“Obviously he got the goal against Cardiff last week and then you saw the quality he has got again in this game."
