England Under-21s defender Calum Chambers believes that the home nation has a "great future" in terms of footballing talent.

England Under-21s defender Calum Chambers has claimed that the nation has a "great future" in terms of young footballing talent coming through the ranks.

The Young Lions are aiming to become the fourth England youth side to reach a final in two months.

England won the Under-20 World Cup and the Toulon Tournament in June, after the Under-17s lost the Euro 2017 final in May.

The U21s, meanwhile, beat Poland 3-0 on Thursday to qualify for the last four of Under-21 Euro 2017 as Group A winners, and will face Germany in the semi-finals on Tuesday.

"There is a great future. They're winning things; we'd love to do the same," Chambers told BBC Sport. "There is the senior first team as well. They have lots of good young players already.

"The competition here between the teams is very high, but we've dealt with the pressure well. That's due to the experience we have from playing at tournaments together in the past - like when we won at Toulon last summer. That has helped us get the results we needed.

"There is a good vibe; the boys are confident. Everyone is happy we've made it through the group stages and we are looking forward to the match. We've practised penalties, too, so if it comes to that, we'll be ready."

England U21s have reached the semi-finals for the first time since 2009, when Stuart Pearce's side beat Sweden on penalties before losing the final 4-0 to a Germany team that featured Manuel Neuer, Mats Hummels and Mesut Ozil.
