The Nigeria-born 27-year-old has won 83 caps for England, playing in two World Cups and two European Championships, as well as playing at the London 2012 Olympics for Great Britain.

During the 45-minute show, which goes out over the BBC website, Aluko offered analysis on Wayne Rooney's red card, Diego Costa, Southampton and Frank Lampard's form at Manchester City.
She said there was "no need" for Rooney to make the "reckless" tackle that got him sent off against West Ham, and called Costa "Chelsea's best player".
