"He's very talented, he's got a lot of potential, I think given the opportunity he's going to keep developing into a top, top player and we're looking at his results."
You could be forgiven for not quite realising the impact Noni Madueke had for England under-21s against France from Lee Carsley's words. The Three Lions boss kept things simple following his side's 4-0 win over Les Bleus, though ensured Chelsea and their supporters know they have a real talent on their hands should he provided the opportunity following his January transfer.
Madueke was confined to the bench for the first 66 minutes at the King Power Stadium with England leading the game 1-0 upon his introduction. A smart finish backed up by a well-placed pass across the box and a tidy dribble matched with a smart lay-off to Jacob Ramsey saw Madueke pick up the player of the match award after just 24 minutes or so on the pitch.
