England are set to attack the U21 Euros with a squad that is worth more than £400 million.
This week, the U21 European Championship got underway in Slovakia with the likes of Spain, Italy, France and Portugal all in action.
England are heading into the tournament as the defending champions after Curtis Jones netted the winner in the 2023 final against Spain.

While a large majority of the 2023 squad has gone on to play for the senior side, the latest young lions team looking to clinch glory still has a lot of quality.
As reported by the BBC, Lee Carsley's squad has a combined worth of around £428.2 million.
Despite losing Adam Wharton through injury and Liam Delap due to Chelsea's participation in the FIFA Club World Cup, Carsley's squad still contains a few big hitters.

The likes of Harvey Elliott, Ethan Nwaneri, Jarell Quansah and James McAtee all played in the Champions League this season.
While the likes of Tino Livramento, Elliot Anderson and Archie Gray have also impressed.
It has been reported that Arsenal youngster Nwaneri has the highest transfer value after being priced at £63 million.
The attacker is followed by the likes of Gray (£53.5 million) and Elliott (£41.1 million).

Newcastle star Livramento, who is a full England international, has a transfer value of £42.8 million.
However, Carsley has been hit with a late blow after Jobe Bellingham's move to Borussia Dortmund, meaning he will be taking part in the Club World Cup instead of the Euros.
Bellingham has been replaced by West Brom's Tom Fellows.
