Leeds United defender Charlie Cresswell completes dream week with landmark international call
Young Leeds United defender Charlie Cresswell has rounded off a superb week by being handed a first England under-21s call.
Nineteen-year-old centre-back Cresswell signed a new four-year deal with Leeds on Wednesday, penning terms at the club until the summer of 2025.
Two days later, the defender has been named in Lee Carsley's 24-man England under-21s squad for the upcoming games against Romania and Kosovo.
The young Three Lions will face Romania in an international friendly in Bucharest on Friday, September 3 before hosting Kosovo in a UEFA European Under-21s Championships qualifier at Stadium MK on Tuesday, September 7.
