Harvey Elliott, Elliot Anderson & seven England Under-21 Euros stars Thomas Tuchel should call up to his senior Three Lions squad

Goalkeeper James Beadle has been England's No.1 at the European Championship having made the position his own in the lead-up to the tournament, starting every game in the run to a second consecutive final for the Young Lions and making some key saves, as well as impressing with his handling.

He is not necessarily set for a first-team breakthrough at Brighton, but another loan in the Championship following his time at Sheffield Wednesday could see the 20-year-old follow James Trafford's pathway into the senior England squad.

September will probably come too soon, but with planning surely under way for Jordan Pickford's succession as the Three Lions' No.1, there could be an opportunity for Beadle to sneak in as third choice in the not-too-distant future.

Beadle's Brighton colleague, Jack Hinshelwood is already closing in on a half-century of appearances for the south coast club aged 21, and it's clear he is cut out for the highest level.

What's more, he is a manager's dream; nominally a midfielder, Hinshelwood can also operate in either full-back position and - such is the modern way - he is predictably adept at inverting given he is so comfortable in the middle of the park.

He would certainly fit Tuchel's preferred tactical setup, then, and could perhaps provide a Swiss Army Knife solution to England's dearth of options at left-back behind breakout talent Myles Lewis-Skelly.

A veteran of the Young Lions' European Championship triumph in 2023, centre-back Charlie Cresswell has been a stalwart of Carlsey's side this time around, impressing with his defensive work and scoring in the group phase against the Czech Republic.

The 22-year-old is probably closer to a senior call-up than many might realise; having taken a leap of faith by leaving boyhood club Leeds and joining Ligue 1's Toulouse in the summer of 2024 with just a handful of first-team appearances to his name, Cresswell has seriously impressed in France.

Indeed, he is already being linked with a move to the Premier League, as well as Serie A, and there is no doubt Tuchel will have an eye on him amid uncertainty surrounding the long-term future of England's central defence.

Former England manager (Sir) Gareth Southgate regularly lamented the country's inability to produce a deep-lying playmaker in the mould of, specifically, Luka Modric - but could Alex Scott be the long-term solution?

The Bournemouth man has shone at the Under-21 Euros in Slovakia despite playing with a broken jaw, demonstrating an aptitude for dictating the play from the base of midfield as well as getting forward to support attacks, assisting against Czechia and scoring himself against Germany.

He will be determined to get more minutes with the Cherries, but he certainly has the technical ability to compete with the likes of Kobbie Mainoo and Adam Wharton to be that dynamic, creative force in the England senior side.

Many will have been left surprised that Elliot Anderson hasn't already earned a senior call-up following a standout campaign for Nottingham Forest, after being sold off by boyhood club Newcastle, likely for PSR reasons.

The all-action midfielder has carried that form into the European Championship, utterly dominating the middle of the park in the semi-final victory over the Netherlands after his goal in the uber-impressive triumph over Spain in the previous round.

Anderson is surely someone who is on the cusp of a promotion to the senior setup as he approaches his 23rd birthday, and he could be an ideal long-term alternative to someone like Declan Rice off the bench.

Any imminent senior call-up may well be contingent on Harvey Elliott finding a new club this summer, but the Liverpool wantaway gave us all a timely reminder of what he is capable of with his sublime brace to down the Netherlands in the semi-finals.

He will have no shortage of transfer options having admitted his 'anger and frustration' at his lack of minutes, which certainly aren't going to increase at Anfield following the £116 million ($159m) arrival of another attacking midfielder in Florian Wirtz.

If the 22-year-old can hit the ground running in his new surroundings, there's no reason Elliott couldn't be an intriguing and versatile attacking option for Tuchel in September, with room for experimentation against Andorra especially.

Another 22-year-old attacking midfielder-cum-winger who may well have to consider his options this summer if he wants to show Tuchel his full potential, James McAtee has a big decision on his hands.

England's captain in Slovakia, he has starred with a goal and assist - more evidence of his obvious ability after a club season where he scored seven times despite being afforded just 936 minutes of action at Manchester City.

The academy graduate will have been earmarked to reach the senior Three Lions squad having played through the age grades for his country, but now it's really up to him to make it happen. Pep Guardiola has admitted he would "understand" if McAtee wanted to go in search of more minutes, even if he wants him to stay.
