THE BIG DEBATE: There were several impressive performances among England’s talented youngsters as Lee Carsley’s side won the European Championships, but which players will make the biggest leap?
For England, the future isn’t just very promising. The future is now.
Lee Carsley’s Young Lions became European Under-21 champions on Saturday when they saw off Spain in the final in Georgia, with their 1-0 success ensuring that they made their way to tournament glory without conceding a goal across their six matches.
There were several standout performances throughout the side, with Chelsea’s in-demand defender Levi Colwill impressive at the back, Liverpool’s Curtis Jones pulling the strings in midfield and the Nottingham Forest livewire Morgan Gibbs-White terrific going forward.
But which of those players stands out the most for our Mirror Football team? And who could even force their way into Gareth Southgate’s senior squad for next year’s European Championships?
