Dwight Yorke is a football legend in the eyes of many - so when he says Daniel Arzani should be in the Socceroos squad for the World Cup in Qatar - it carries a bit of sway.
Yorke, 50, is blessed with a myriad attacking options as the new head coach of A-League outfit Macarthur FC.
And Arzani - Australia's x-factor at the 2018 World Cup in Russia - is potentially the standout.
Speaking ahead of the A-League finally kicking off this weekend following the longest off-season in world football, Manchester United great Yorke declared he will give Arzani a 'licence to go and play' this season.
'He hasn't had a lot of playing time the past few years with injuries,' Yorke told Stan Sport.
