Richard Scudamore has revealed the Premier League saw "nothing" from Euro 2016 to provide cause for concern over the development of English players.

The organisation reviewed England's performances and, despite the 2-1 defeat by Iceland being considered among the worst in their history, remains confident in the players' ability.

Sam Allardyce has been appointed as England's new manager, and on Monday he spoke of his belief the squad had been good enough to win Euro 2016.

The Premier League's verdict is similarly positive, and executive chairman Scudamore insisted they saw no need to implement change to further strengthen the national team's chances.

"We did our own post-Euros discussion, and there is nothing we saw that put us off the journey," said the 56-year-old.

"In other words, we know we're producing good players, we saw nothing that said 'Oh, Christ'.

"Whereas, if you go back to England-Croatia (a 3-2 home defeat in 2007 that cost England qualification for Euro 2008), Steve McClaren and the umbrella, we were so angry we went and got Ged (Roddy, the Premier League's director of football development).

"We said, 'We have to change, we have to change', but we saw nothing in the Euros, either from other teams or from ourselves, quite frankly, that said we have to change the journey."
