England have commissioned golden caps to be delivered to the stars of last summer\u2019s Under-21 European Championship history makers.<\/p>\n
Liverpool midfielder Curtis Jones was the first to receive his from Lee Carsley after visiting the current crop at their hotel in Liverpool ahead of tonight\u2019s qualifier against Northern Ireland at Goodison Park.<\/p>\n
Carsley will travel the country over the coming months to hand the commemorative memorabilia to the likes of Cole Palmer, Morgan Gibbs-White, Anthony Gordon and Levi Colwill.<\/p>\n
\u2018It was good to see Curtis,\u2019 Carsley said. \u2018It\u2019s good for the rest of the team to see that there is a connection, we do care about the lads and want them to do well.<\/p>\n
\u2018He came for a coffee and sat around with the staff. And just before he went I said, \u201cWe\u2019ve got this for you.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u2018We thought it would be special for them to have a golden cap for the games they played in and for winning the Euros.\u2019<\/p>\n
England lifted that piece of silverware for the first time since 1984. Several members of Carsley\u2019s squad in this cycle \u2013 including Liverpool midfielder Harvey Elliot – also experienced the highs of making history in Georgia a few months ago.<\/p>\n
\u2018We\u2019ve asked Harvey to play a different role, a little bit higher,\u2019 Carsley said.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u2018Harvey has outstanding potential. We have to make sure that we guarantee him minutes and be an important part of what we do. All the data is that he is the most creative player. He knows he has to keep doing that.\u2019<\/p>\n
Elliot\u2019s former teammate at Anfield, Adam Lallana, is part of England\u2019s backroom team and has taken part in training at Finch Farm.<\/p>\n
