Pearce excited by young England strikers

England U21 boss Stuart Pearce says the raft of young strikers available to him is an exciting development.

"We've got threats all over, from what I've seen in the three matches with the new team," Pearce said.

"Gabriel Agbonlahor (Aston Villa) is a handful, so is Matt Derbyshire (Blackburn). Luke Moore (Aston Villa) came on and was unfortunate not to score against Bulgaria. We feel we have pace and power all over the pitch."
