Gareth Southgate is a man who knows a lot about the young English talent that is emerging through the ranks.

Despite the senior side having problems, over the summer, the Under-21 side won the Toulon tournament and the Under-19s reached the semi-finals of the European Championships.

Whilst the likes of Dele Alli and Eric Dier have made their way into the England side, neither were at their best during Euro 2016 and there definitely seems to be an issue with integrating the younger talent that is breaking through.

This is a problem that must be solved should any England manager want to stay in the job long-term.
