Lee Carsley’s first squad as interim England manager included a few surprise inclusions – none more so than 23-year-old midfielder Angel Gomes.
The London-born former Manchester United Academy product only has 46 minutes of Premier League experience to his name, but has forged a successful career at French Ligue 1 side Lille, helping them qualify for this season’s Champions League.
He has represented England at every age group from under-16s to under-21s and on Tuesday earned a senior full debut for the Three Lions in England’s Nations League win over Finland, having appeared off the bench in Saturday’s win against the Republic of Ireland.
Gomes, the godson of former Man Utd and Portugal winger Nani, impressed alongside Declan Rice, having more touches (130) and making more passes (116) than any other player.
Manager Lee Carsley, said: “He’s a great person. He absolutely loves football. He’s interested in tactics. He knows all the players in any league.
“If you ask for feedback, you need to be prepared that he will give you feedback on the session or on how we are going to build up or the positions.
“He fully deserves it. The performance you have seen today we have seen for the last three or four years.”
BBC Sport has taken a look at his career so far, which has included tough love under Jose Mourinho and a devastating United exit before thriving in France.
