He's a fantastic talent. Think he will with bit of switch expected after Millwall did not really go to plan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm so confused we haven't played France yet according to the FA https://www.thefa.com/england/youth-teams/results and yet the official site says Quote The young Lions played France (Wednesday, October 6th, 3pm), but lost 3-1 with Scott playing the full 90 minutes. Confusing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The England website has a match report - https://www.englandfootball.com/articles/2021/Oct/06/england-mu19s-france-match-report-20210610 - so looks like that fixture list is incorrect.

Alessandro Posted October 8, 2021 Report Share Posted October 8, 2021 Looks like only 2 players in that squad of 23 are from clubs outside the Premier league and the vast majority are contracted to top 4-6 clubs. I’m sure 10/15 years ago U21/19/18’s etc used to have a much wider spread of clubs and leagues - They’ve really got a strangle hold on the best youth now in the premier league. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Selection for this level is clearly a stitch up. There's probably a quota system In place unofficially to appease the big clubs so their youth players have value. Makes Alex's inclusion all the more of an achievement 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know how big the talent pool is at U21 level but Lyon alone consistently produce good young players. Add to that Clairefontaine and the other federation academies, it's no surpise they have been a very competetive team over a long period. As above, he must be on their radar though, particularly having played at other youth levels. Do they want/need his type of player? Selections certainly become more narrow as you move up through the youth teams, U21s essentially being groomed for the senior team. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
