England have named their Under-19 squad for upcoming European championship qualifiers, with attention on the country's junior teams spiking in 2017 after several recent successes at various age groups on both a continental and global stage.

Earlier this year, the Under-19 team won the European Championship after victory over Portugal in the final in Georgia. The Under-20 side, meanwhile, became the first English team to win a global title since 1966 when they claimed victory at the Under-20 World Cup in June.

Just last month, England's Under-17 squad were triumphant at the Under-17 World Cup in India, thrashing Spain 5-2 in the final just a few months after being beaten by the same opposition in the final of the Under-17 Euros.

The Under-19 side face qualifiers against the Faroe Islands, Iceland and Bulgaria this month in what is essentially a mini-qualifying tournament in Bulgaria to determine which two countries will progress to the next round of qualifying ahead of the finals in Finland next summer.

Names in the squad to watch out for include Trevoh Chalobah, the younger brother of Watford midfielder Nathaniel Chalobah, Fulham starlet Ryan Sessegnon, Chelsea's Mason Mount, who was named Best Player at this year's Under-19 Euros, as well as promising Arsenal trio Joe Willock, Reiss Nelson and Edward Nketiah, each of whom has Gunners first-team experience.
