Manchester City winger Jack Grealish has been given offered a huge deal by party-lover Wayne Lineker following his Euro squad snub.
Grealish would have been eager to get on the plane and make his way to Germany this summer with the England squad for the Euros.
However, manager Gareth Southgate selected a 33-man pre-tournament team, that would need to be whittled down to 26 before making the trip.
Unfortunately for Grealish, he was one of the seven names left out from the final squad, with Crystal Palace forward Eberechi Eze being selected ahead of him.

Though some may call his exclusion controversial, given his involvement in each of England's last two tournaments, the 28-year-old only mustered three goals and three assists in 35 appearances for Man City.
The forward started in England's friendly against Bosnia and Herzegovina on Monday, where he provided a lovely assist for Trent Alexander-Arnold in a solid 3-0 win.
It might not be the worst thing in the world though, as the summer has just opened up for a man that is known country-wide as a party animal, as he has shown many times during City's title celebrations.
It looks like Wayne Lineker, known best for being the owner of Ocean Beach club in Ibiza, has apparently offered Grealish an attractive Plan B.
A known hotspot for celebrities looking for a summer getaway, the 62-year-old may have indirectly invited him to stop by for a quick visit, as he has done in the past, with the two previously being snapped partying together.
An Instagram sports updates page shared a pic of the two at the beach club, jokingly captioning it: "BREAKING NEWS. Jack Grealish agrees 4-week loan deal to Ocean Beach – HERE WE GO."
Garnering almost 25,000 likes, the post featured some funny comments - including one from Lineker himself.
"Great news," the businessman commented, while Wayne's son also commented a number of laughing faces.
As well as Grealish, the likes of Harry Maguire (due to injury), James Maddison, Curtis Jones, James Trafford, Jarrad Branthwaite and Jarrel Quansah have been sent packing.
Maddison and Jones dramatically left the England camp upon finding out that they weren't in the final squad, with the latter posting an emotional message on social media to express his disappointment.
It was reported that one England player approached Southgate about the decision to leave those particular players out, as per The Mirror.
Later speaking about the decision, Southgate commented on the fact that the players took the decision well, calling them all 'top players'.
He added: "We have some players that have performed extremely well this season and other players have had stronger seasons. In the attacking positions we're blessed with a lot of options and Madders [James Maddison] and Jack give us something different.
"They were tough calls, but we back our decisions but recognise we could've gone a different route. It was sad to have to deliver that news to them," he concluded.
The Euros kicks off on Friday 14 June.
