'Might be the answer' - Liverpool fans purr over Curtis Jones and Levi Colwill after England U21s reach final

England's under-21 side are through to the final of the European Under-21 Championship after Lee Carsley's team eased past Israel with a 3-0 win.

Goals from Morgan Gibbs-White, Cole Palmer and Cameron Archer booked the Young Lions' place in the final.

Liverpool fans will have had a particular interest in events at the Adjarabet Arena, with two of the club's most exciting talents featuring for the winners.

While Harvey Elliott was forced to settle for a place on the bench, and only played 16 minutes as a second-half substitute, Curtis Jones featured for 88 minutes and caught the eye in a man-of-the-match display.

Then there's Levi Colwill. According to the ECHO's sister website football.london, Liverpool have enquired about signing the Chelsea defender "multiple times".

As a mainstay in a defence that has not conceded a single goal throughout the whole tournament, it is easy to see just why Jurgen Klopp is said to be an admirer of the 20-year-old.

Cowill justified such interest tonight, too, with Israel managing to muster just one solitary shot on target across the entire 90 minutes compared to England's six.

The final will take place on Saturday, where England will face either Ukraine or Spain in Batumi.

With such impressive performances fresh in the mind of fans, below is a taste of what Liverpool supporters made of this evening's proceedings...

@MannyBLFC - "Another Curtis Jones masterclass."

@percocot30 - "Curtis Jones is insane man, what a player."

@bazdev - "If Curtis Jones could carry this arrogance into his game when he plays for us we wouldn't need to sign anyone. Could be as good as anybody if he believes in himself. #Baller"

@Kennyllorente - "Curtis Jones is looking a tidy player, I have written him off a few times and to caveat it is a under 21’s tournament but he looks quite mature. Interesting to see what he does."

@juanfelipepare3 - "Immense performance by Curtis Jones this evening. Man against boys."

@TheImmortalKop - "The things I’d do for Levi Colwill at my club."

@lucas_allen07 - "[Colwill is] Already one of the best ball players in Europe. People REALLY need to start watching him."

@NaserHomayed - "Curtis balling again. Levi Colwill is cold as well."

@nithesh_sagar - "Levi Colwill might be the answer."

@syed_lfc110 - "Levi Colwill is destined for greatness IF he joins us"
