00:00As a club, Newcastle United have a proud history of players representing England, most notably

00:06Alan Shearer as captain.

00:07However, until the Saudi-backed takeover, the two have had few England call-ups.

00:12Under Eddie Howe, the likes of Callum Wilson, Nick Pope and Kieran Trippier have been regulars

00:16in the England set-up, but now a new breed of young talent from Newcastle United is making

00:22waves at the FA.

00:24The question is, how has Eddie Howe turned three young players into international footballers?

00:31The most notable is Anthony Gordon, who after his first cap, reflected on his performance

00:36and lead-up to selection.

00:37Yeah, he was saying fantastic, really pleased for me, so I think he was happy with my performance,

00:43which is always a good thing.

00:44Yeah, it was, it was chaotic, because obviously at the time, when I came off, I didn't know

00:48what was going to happen, and Emmet was up in the air, but I was really fortunate to

00:53miss out on any injury, and I got to live the best day of my life.

00:58The most recent is Lewis Hall, who explained his rise and how Eddie Howe works as a coach.

01:02Yeah, because you get obviously the highs and lows.

01:05Last season, there was moments where obviously I was at a low, and yeah, I wasn't feeling

01:12myself, really, but I somehow managed to pick it up at the end of the season, because obviously

01:18I know the quality that I have, and yeah, I managed to pick that up, and this season

01:24I've wanted to start strong, and some games I think I've done that, and other games I

01:28think I could do better in, but I think that's football, really.

01:32You've got ups and downs along the way, and yeah, I think today I was really happy with

01:36how I played, so hopefully I can kick on for the rest of the season.

01:40I think he's very unique in terms of his ideas, and the way he coaches is a lot different

01:45to something I've ever had before.

01:49He works so hard for not just the team in general, but for individuals as well.

01:56As any manager does, they have a lot of work to do before a game and after a game, but

02:02it'll still take time to help individuals on the pitch who may not even be playing,

02:07to help them improve their game whilst they're trying to get into the team, so I think that's

02:12a big, big quality that he has, and I think definitely it makes my job sometimes a lot

02:18easier, with the way we prepare for games as well, so yeah, he's nothing but really

02:24good words to say about him.

02:27The final man is Tino Livramento, who like Hall, is yet to be capped, but is a valuable

02:32new addition to the Three Lions squad given his prowess for Newcastle.

02:36Those three have the potential to represent England for many years to come, and for that,

02:40Eddie Howe deserves credit.

02:42Three young players, who when they signed for Newcastle had a long way to go to be worthy

02:46are now being talked about highly across the country.

02:49The future of England could be very bright indeed, with Eddie Howe and Newcastle United

02:54playing a very key role.
