Phil Foden insists that England's current crop of youngsters can match the achievements of the Golden Generation comprising the likes of David Beckham, Steven Gerrard and Frank Lampard.
The 18-year-old has been included in his country's Under-21 squad, while Gareth Southgate has shown that there is a very real path to the senior team by naming a youthful side at that level.
Already making an impact with Manchester City, Foden could soon make his breakthrough to the senior England team, with the likes of Borussia Dortmund prospect Jadon Sancho and Derby County's Mason Mount already doing so.
