Explained in plain English

Who are 'youth internationals'?

A 'youth international' is a player who has represented their country at a junior level, such as Under-19s or Under-21s, rather than the senior national team. Trey Nyoni being an England youth international highlights his potential and why Liverpool are keen to keep him, as it suggests he's considered one of the best young talents in the country.
