Sir Trevor Brooking insists that English clubs must make a greater effort to invest in youth coaching.

Sir Trevor Brooking has urged Premier League clubs to invest more money in youth coaching.

The FA's director of football development believes that the average salary for a youth coach is not enough and insists that is the reason for the lack of exciting prospects in English football.

Brooking said: "On the clubs we want them focusing on making the 16-year-old English players better than they have been.

"We believe you need full-time coaches. At the moment there is an issue in that those full-time places are being offered at pretty low salaries, around 15-16 grand, and they need to be recognised for the quality and getting £40,000 to £50,000.

"In the scheme of things that's not asking too much to invest in quality coaches in those age groups so that the 16-year-olds are going to be much better than they are at the moment."

Brooking has been in his role at the FA since 2003.
