HARVEY ELLIOTT believes Lee Carsley is ready to step up and take the England job.
And the Liverpool forward believes that would open the door for him to break into the Three Lions squad as he waits on a first call-up.
Elliott, 21, played under Carsley as England U-21s won the European Championship last summer.
The Kop midfielder came off the bench in the final as England beat Spain to win the trophy.
Now Carsley's name is bang in the frame to succeed Gareth Southgate and Elliott is in no doubt he would be able to handle one of the biggest jobs in the game.
