Big Club dominance of yoot

The England squad for the U17s Euros has been announced.
Seven of the 21 are from Man C, with one more in the City Group (at NYC). That's nearly 40% from one club, at an age where many will fail to make the grade.

Not one representative from Liverpool, Villa, W Ham, Palace, BHA, Brentford, Soton, Leeds or Millwall, and eight of those named have transferred into their current club (that is, not local lads).

And note that one of the GKs - Oliver Whatmuff - is likely leaving Everton this summer, with a fee of *up to £10m* needed to secure his services.

A reminder, our very own Elliot Myles is in Cyprus for this tournament, with Wales v Den at 4pm today.
