England fans want him to join Thomas Tuchel’s senior side.
England fans want Thomas Tuchel to bring up an under-21 star after their team won the U21 Euros.
England defended their U21 Euros championship with a stunning 3-2 victory over Germany on Saturday.
Harvey Elliott and Omari Hutchinson both scored in the first half to give Lee Carsley’s side a two-goal advantage.
Germany got one back before the interval, then leveled just after the hour mark.
England recovered the lead in extra time, with Jonathan Rowe scoring two minutes in.
After winning the U21 Euros in 2023, this is their second consecutive title.
Many players from the 2023 squad have progressed to senior level, including Newcastle United’s Anthony Gordon and Liverpool’s Curtis Jones.
And England fans believe Elliot Anderson is in line for a senior call-up, asking Tuchel, who was in the stands, to include him in the next team.
Anderson from Nottingham Forest shined in the middle of the park against Germany and has impressed throughout the competition.
His performance in the final has England fans talking on social media.
One X user remarked, “Elliot Anderson is an industrial player with quality. He has to make the senior team for next year’s World Cup, particularly over Hendo.
Another person responded: “Tuchel do the right thing and call Anderson up to the senior team.”
A third person commented: “Elliot Anderson should start for England in midfield been unreal for the under 21s.”
A fourth said, “Elliot Anderson needs to make the first team. What a player.”
A fifth person was struck: “How good is Elliot Anderson, needs to be in the first team on this showing.”
Anderson, who came through Newcastle United’s development academy before breaking into the first team, made his England U21 debut last summer.
The 22-year-old played 37 Premier League appearances for Forest last season and is ready for a senior call-up.
