England's youth football teams are at an all time high after the U17 squad just took the World Cup.

Among the title-winning bunch was young Crystal Palace star, Nya Kirby.

Showcasing the new generation's confidence and technical ability, Kirby was a key cog off the bench throughout the tournament.

Kirby had his choice of clubs after leaving Tottenham Hotspurs' academy, but decided to sign with Crystal Palace.

He is already playing with Palace's U23 side to go along with the England U17s caps.
