Shrewsbury Town boss Micky Mellon says Sullay Kaikai is England class.
Crystal Palace youngster Kaikai is back with the Shrews on loan following a spell earlier this season.
"Tell me who's better than him in that U21 team?," said Mellon.
"Look at the qualities he has. A young English talent who can score the kind of goals he has for us for so long now.
"He's exciting for the fans and he makes back fours bend with his pace, trickery, directness and his desire to score.
"And he works his socks off. He comes with Premier League standards because that's what he's used to, and it rubs off on everyone else."
