Levi Colwill was put on the spot over his future after England U21s sealed European Championship glory last night.
The Young Lions beat Spain 1-0 in the final, with the winning goal coming from Liverpool midfielder Curtis Jones.
Chelsea starlet Colwill, who is on the radar of the Reds, delivered another impressive performance at the heart of defence.
In a live social media stream during the post-match celebrations, Colwill approached England and Chelsea team-mate Noni Madueke and asked "what you got to say, brother?"

Madueke's attention quickly turned to domestic matters as he said: "Come on man, hey listen...we're both coming back. He is as well! I will make sure he comes back."
Colwill pulled an awkward expression (see video below) and tried to wriggle away from Madueke's grasp as he said: "This guy bro...this guy."
As the ECHO reported back in March, Colwill has plenty of admirers inside Anfield.
And a new centre-back signing could be on the agenda this summer after Jurgen Klopp's decision to switch to a back-three system last term.
Aged just 20, Colwill has huge potential and is attracting interest from the Reds. But it remains to be seen whether that is taken any further given his tricky situation at Chelsea.
He is understood to want assurances over first-team football following a successful loan spell with Brighton last term.
The ECHO's sister site football.london has claimed that Liverpool have made 'multiple enquiries' over Colwill's availability, while Brighton are believed to have bids of up to £40million rejected.
New Chelsea boss Mauricio Pochettino is assessing his squad and where Colwill will fit into it. He will hold talks with the defender amid suggestions the club are keen to hand him a fresh, long-term deal.
Pochettino said on Colwill: “I need to get a feel for him. I need to hear what he has in his mind..what he expects. And then, of course, for him to listen to what I expect from him.”
