Lee Carsley has pleaded with Folarin Balogun to show some patience ahead of trying to convince the striker to commit his future to England.
Balogun has been a star for the Under 21 side in recent years having bagged seven goals in just 13 games.
The 21-year-old is on the brink of having to choose senior representation, and he recently pulled out of the Under 21 side with the USA keen on recruiting the New York born star.
Speaking after his side lost 2-1 to Croatia, Carsley admitted his side missed Balogun's presence in the attack.
