Curtis Jones and Harvey Elliott's pure footballing talent make them absolute joys to coach, according to England U21s boss Lee Carsley.

The Liverpool duo helped the Young Lions go all the way in the recent U21 European Championship, with Jones credited with scoring the winning goal in the final against Spain.

Jones took Player of the Match honours in the semi-final and showpiece to cap off a brilliant tournament for the 22-year-old.

Elliott, meanwhile, played his role in England's success with five appearances and a stunning individual goal in their group-stage finale with Germany.

"Curtis is a player that I've really enjoyed working with," Carsley told BBC Radio Merseyside.

"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."
