​Chelsea defender Guehi eager to dismiss past England U21 failures | OneFootball

Chelsea defender Marc Guehi is not worried about the past failings of England Under-21 sides.

Guehi, who is on loan at Swansea City this season in the Championship, is set to play in the upcoming Under-21 European Championships.

The 20-year-old and his fellow Young Lions will be hoping to overcome past England failures at this level.

They failed to qualify from the group stage last time around, despite having a lot of talent in the squad.

"I've not spoken to Mason [Mount - who played at the last Under-21 Euros]," he told reporters.

"He's done fantastically well at Chelsea, captain at the weekend.

"His career has gone from strength to strength. I'm aware of what happened at the last U21 Euros.

"It was a fantastic group but this is a different group of players. We have this opportunity to go out now and show what we can do in a touch group with good teams. Hopefully, we can come out on the other side.

"Naturally, when you put on this shirt, it is vital to go out and do your best but in this camp, especially, we feel there is an opportunity to go out and win this tournament.

"It's fantastic having all us boys that were the U17 World Cup together. We're all good friends, grew up together and playing against each other in youth teams and U21. We know a lot about each and follow each other, which is fantastic.

"It's just a really good group of friends, a tight unit of players that want to do the best for one another. That's really important."
