And to ensure future Harry Kanes, Phil Fodens and Jude Bellinghams do not slip through the net, the FA is working with Google Cloud on a developing a Scouting Summarisations project using generative AI technology. "Then we get data on those performances that help us to make assessments on those players against certain opponents, and what some of the trends are for our team.""Let's say we're not scoring as many goals from set plays as we might be. We're breaking down actually 'Why is that?' and reviewing individual matches," he said.

"It wasn't time-efficient. Now we've got people working on those specifics, support teams are bigger, because everybody's looking for that edge in performance." "It's about taking a balanced view. Assessing what's available, but making sure it connects perfectly with a problem, rather than doing it because it's sexy and novel."

"There's so much wisdom and insight that a scout will hold when he's watched a player, so simplifying that down to a number is incredibly reductive. To capture the wisdom within the words -- that's the goal of the project."
