Jack Hinshelwood believes England under-21s might be timing things just right at the Euros.
And he would love to be part of a double Albion celebration after tomorrow's final in Bratislava (8pm, C4).
Seagulls duo Hinshelwood and James Beadle have helped the Young Lions reach a showdown with Germany.
With Brajan Gruda playing for the opposition, Albion will add to a roll of honour which includes Alexis Mac Allister at the World Cup, Simon Adingra at AFCON and, albeit as an unused sub, Carl Rushworth at the last under-21 Euros.
Germany beat England in the group stage but that result is being played down on both sides.
Hinshelwood, who has played at left-back in wins over Spain and Holland, said: “Right from the start we came in with a lot of belief that we can really do well in this tournament and go all the way.
Beadle's belief was evident that night at the Amex so is he a future England No.1?
“We probably didn't really show up until the quarter-finals.
“But these last two games we've really put in good performances and the results have followed. We've got one more big job to do now.”
Hinshelwood, whose dad Adam will be at the final, missed out on the opening game against Czechia but went on as sub against Slovenia and has since been a regular.

His performances have improved along the way and he said: “When you're away for a tournament you get to spend good quality time with these people and get to know them and you can build great bonds.
“We've got a great bond off the pitch and we're now showing it on the pitch.
“This is my first international tournament, so it's great being here and I've loved every second.
“To get to the final is amazing, but we know we've got one more job to do now and that's to bring it home.”
