Highly-rated Leicester City defender Liam Moore can get even better, manager Nigel Pearson has said.
The 21-year-old from Loughborough has established himself as a first choice for both his club and England Under-21s during the past few months.
Moore also enjoyed an excellent international break as he scored his first goal for Gareth Southgate's side in Croatia as they booked their place in next summer's European Championships.
Pearson said there is still plenty of room for improvement in Moore's game but believes he has the right attributes to continue his development.
"There are still areas of the game he needs to improve on, but he's made good progress for us and with us," said Pearson, who gave academy graduate Moore his debut in January 2012.
"Hopefully that will be the case. Because there is strong competition for places, it is only right that he keeps having to play well – and that goes for all the players.
"It's early days and he's done very well, but he still has a lot of scope for improvement.
"He has done well and been used in different positions. To make the step up to international football is another useful learning experience.
"There are always things you can learn and, hopefully, he will continue to progress."
Pearson admits Moore has made remarkable progress in such a short space of time but believes his team-mates must take some of the credit for his development.
"It's very difficult to definitively say a player will make it or not," he said.
"What you have to do with a sound youth development policy is to give players the right time and give them the challenges.
"Three years ago, I don't think there would have been too many people who could say Liam would have achieved what he has done, but he's done well out on loan and also he's developed with exposure to first-team football. No one can say we've done a great job, there are lots of contributory factors.
"He's gained valuable experience by playing alongside some good senior players like Wes Morgan and Marcin Wasilewski.
"When you play with experienced players with good habits, that can be of enormous value but it is difficult to quantify what that value is."
