Belgium coach Roberto Martinez is delighted with the form of Chelsea goalkeeper Thibaut Courtois and Manchester City winger Kevin de Bruyne.
De Bruyne and Courtois' international boss Martinez insists they have benefited as a result where English players have not.
“Many of the players in the Premier League have gone through that structure – Kevin De Bruyne, Thibaut Courtois," Martinez told The Telegraph.
"And then these players go to the pro-league clubs and at 17, 18, 19 they are in the first-team.
“That's the perfect development."
