England’s senior team have found international success difficult to come by, but their youth teams have a knack for producing teams capable of winning major tournaments. Six years ago, the young Lions roared to their maiden Under-17 World Cup triumph and members of that squad have gone on to become forces in football now. Now, the task for Ryan Garry’s side is to try and emulate their precedessor’s achievements, starting with a clash against New Caledonia on Saturday. Ahead of their group stage opener, Express Sport<\/em> looks at five of England’s top prospects.<\/p>\n

Ethan Nwaneri<\/h2>\n

It’s not every day that Arsenal bring a 15-year-old off the bench to become their youngest-ever player. But that’s exactly what happened in last season when Mikel Arteta turned to their exciting youngster during their clash with Brentford in September 2022.<\/p>\n

It was an exhibit of just how highly the young attacker is rated by the Gunners, who may have gave him a glimpse of Premier League football to keep him out of the clutches of Manchester City and Chelsea. And now he has agreed to sign a professional contract in March when he turns 17, he can concentrate on leading England to glory.<\/p>\n

With a devastating mix of creativity and goalscoring prowess, it is no surprise that he has excelled at Under-21 level with his club, scoring four goals in as many Premier League 2 appearances. Expect him to play a central role, despite being one of the younger players in the group.<\/p>\n

Ishe Samuels-Smith<\/h2>\n

Chelsea clearly believe the defender has a bright future in the game after agreeing a \u00a34million package with Everton to sign the youngster this summer.<\/p>\n

The left-sided centre-back can also play as a full-back, highlighting his versatility and he has become renowned for being a cool head in possession, carrying the ball out from the back. In particular, Samuels-Smith has a knack for beating his opponents in one-on-one duels in a similar mould of Aaron Wan-Bissaka.<\/p>\n

At the age of 17, he is still a fair distance away from breaching the first-team barrier, but he is highly regarded by youth coach Hassan Sulaiman, who said he is ‘confident’ Samuels-Smith will sparkle during the tournament.<\/p>\n
