Forest attacker Morgan Gibbs-White full of pride as England reach U21 Euros final

Nottingham Forest attacker Morgan Gibbs-White is full of pride helping England reach the U21 Euros final.

Gibbs-White scored as England defeated Israel 3-0 last night.

"It's hard to put into words," said Gibbs-White.

"We've been working for the past two years just to get to this moment. It's not an achievement yet, we still have loads of work to do.

"I feel like we have a good together team and the right team that can go all the way."

Gibbs-White won the U17 World Cup with England.

"A couple of players played in that who are playing in this team now," he said.

"I feel confident. Obviously there's always room to improve. My main role for the team is just to try and help the team as much as possible on and off the ball.

"I feel like assists have been a big part of my game this season and I've carried that into the tournament. It's just about trying to get more goals now. Full focus is on Saturday and just the team.

"That's the first time I've missed a penalty wide. I was really frustrated with myself but I knew another chance was going to come so I had to stay calm, stay composed and when my chance came I took it.

"I got us into the lead but the main thing is we got the win and we're into the final."
