Mason Mount and James Maddison can thrive for England, says Danny Higginbotham
James Maddison and mason Mount will offer the spark England have been missing in recent decades, based on Danny Higginbotham.
The group have been named in Gareth Southgate England squad for the upcoming European Qualifiers against Bulgaria and Kosovo, but are yet to produce their senior debuts.
Mount, 20, only left his first Premier League look this year, however also the Chelsea midfielder is currently a part of Frank Lampard's programs in Stamford Bridge.
"It has been a excellent start to the year for Mount - the way he joins play up along with the places he turns up in across the pitch - it is really excellent to see," Higginbotham told Match Centre.
"Having that player who can be creative is where I think England have struggled lately - which player who will make runs from midfield and connect the front players.
"I believe he's profiting from playing under Frank Lampard a year on loan at Derby where he had an exceptional season, so he knows what Lampard desires. The thing from his view is that Lampard trusts the younger gamers.
"He has a enormous future before him, not from the national side of things but globally also."
Meanwhile, the Leicester midfielder Maddison created 100 opportunities in the Premier League last year, more than every participant in the upper division.
He was left in June, but Higginbotham thinks he has all the features for a success on the stage.
"Coming from Norwich and moving to Leicester, it was effortless for him, how he travelled from the Championship to the Premier League," Higginbotham said.
"He's a confident player and he's an arrogant player in the nicest possible manner because I believe that your top players have to have arrogance about them - he's got that in abundance.
"Like Mount, he is very, very smart at finding spaces and finding places in suburban spaces in which you think there isn't going to be space. He's another young player filled with intellect and he could really work wonders for England."
England continue their Euro 2020 qualifying effort against Bulgaria on Saturday in Wembley, before confronting Kosovo at St Mary's Stadium.
