England U21 coach Carsley full of praise for Liverpool pair Elliott, Jones

England U21 coach Lee Carsley has sung the praises of Liverpool pair Harvey Elliott and Curtis Jones.

The pair were instrumental in England's U21 Euros victory.

Carsley told BBC Radio Merseyside: "Curtis is a player that I've really enjoyed working with. He's got such personality, he's technically excellent, physically he's outstanding.

"Curtis will be one of the best players at that age that I've worked with, I've been lucky to work with, because he's got a lot of potential. I'd love to see him really kick on at Liverpool and really get a place in that team and show people what he can do.

"The same with Harvey as well. Harvey's got so much potential. He's got another campaign in him at this age, so he's been a player that's been so important. You think about his goal against Germany, running the length of the pitch and scoring. Another player that I really love working with."
