​Huddersfield boss Wagner believes English youngsters better than European

Huddersfield boss David Wagner says that youth talent in England is much better than that of their European opponents.

The Three Lions have struggled for success on the international stage in the recent years, but Wagner insists that they have a bright future ahead.

The German manager, who worked at Borussia Dortmund for four years before joining the Terriers in 2015, said: "I have worked a long time in Germany, some of it full-time in academies and with top young players. From what I have seen in England so far, there is unbelievable talent and potential in players who are 19, 20 and 21.

"We had that with Kasey Palmer and Izzy Brown, and Ben Chilwell when he was here on loan from Leicester.

"They have unbelievable quality which I rarely find in Germany at this age, to be honest.

"Unfortunately, they are not our academy players. They are academy players from other clubs. But I don't think England has a problem."
