Wtf??!!!

He hasn't been called up to the squad, just brought over from one of the other pitches for a training session to make up the numbers. It's still a big deal in that it gives him a chance to make an impression training alongside elite players, but for context another Spurs youngster, Dylan Duncan, got a similar opportunity a few years ago - he's now playing at Clyde.

Reminds me of my football playing days.

I was watching the senior team and got called over to join in. Thought I'd finally made my breakthrough, but it turned out they were a cone short so I had to stand in as a goal post.

Sadly, I didn't impress.

Yeah I know he wasn’t called up by senior squad but I didn’t realise he was even on international duty with one of the younger England teams this time

Not long till he's captain at this rate

Hope he can be part of the squad next season. We need a backup to Maddison. Is that the position that would suit him most?
