Manchester United fullback Reece James is being scouted by England.
The Daily Mail says James is under consideration for a call-up to the England Under-21 side after impressing on the club's pre-season tour of the United States.
James, 20, is being monitored closely by FA scouts and could be part of Gareth Southgate's squad to face Lithuania and Moldova in September if he maintains his remarkable progress.
James, who grew up in Bacup in Lancashire, is yet to represent his country at youth level and a call-up by Southgate next month would cap a remarkable rise for the young left back.
He was released by Preston North End as an 18-year-old but the player was handed a lifeline by United's reserve team manager Warren Joyce.
