I definitely believe that Cirkin is more than ready to be regularly playing EL football this season, and as the 2nd best FB I've seen in the academy, if he gets his chance we could be onto a top player and I reckon he will be playing for England if Ireland don't promise him game time first
Following from this and seeing the England squad announced, I actually forgot how bad England's dearth at LB was due to poor planning.
They have Dasilva who I still think is a talent but didn't get the opportunity. I think he could do well there and I think if he did a big club would then buy him. I think Henry could also do a job there. I believe Sessegnon was the one they were hoping would play there but he then got moved forward and now noone really knows where his strength is and Saka could also play there but is actually a winger.
I think England should have chosen one of Dasilva, Henry or Saka for balance to see how they would have got on. I don't think any would have let us down.
But in my opinion Cirkin is England's most talented or potentially best LB after Chilwell., especially with Dasilva appearing to have stagnated due to Chelsea not giving him chances.
If Cirkin is trusted this year in the EL, I wouldn't be surprised to see him in contention for the Euros next year. But this is also dependent on how we develop Sessegnon, as chances are one will block the other.
