Nottingham Forest star Morgan Gibbs-White is feeling 'confident' after he helped England under-21s to the European Championship final.
The Young Lions beat Israel 3-0 in the semi-finals yesterday (Wednesday), with Gibbs-White opening the scoring. The 23-year-old will now be part of the team that faces Spain in the final on Saturday.
Speaking after the match, Gibbs-White summed up his emotions, with his England teammates now just 90 minutes away from silverware. The Forest man's impressive form will hopefully carry over into pre-season and the new Premier League campaign.

"It's hard to put into words," said Gibbs-White. "We've been working for the past two years just to get to this moment. It's not an achievement yet, we still have loads of work to do. I feel like we have a good together team and the right team that can go all the way."
When the game was level at 0-0, Gibbs-White missed a penalty by putting the ball wide, but he kept calm to get his goal, with his confidence really shining through. He has now revealed he wants to add more goals to his game, after scoring five last season - with eight assists.
"I feel confident," he added. "Obviously there's always room to improve. My main role for the team is just to try and help the team as much as possible on and off the ball.
"I feel like assists have been a big part of my game this season and I've carried that into the tournament. It's just about trying to get more goals now. Full focus is on Saturday and just the team.
"That's the first time I've missed a penalty wide. I was really frustrated with myself but I knew another chance was going to come so I had to stay calm, stay composed and when my chance came I took it.
"I got us into the lead but the main thing is we got the win and we're into the final."
