So that's a goal and two assists for Luca Williams-Barnett https://www.instagram.com/reel/DOsUj6yDYlR/
Really has something about him, that lad. I'd be surprised if he doesn't climb through the ranks pretty quickly. If not at Spurs then elsewhere at a similar level.
He's already playing for our U21s in spite being 16, so we're certainly confident that he can mix it up with players 3-4 years further in their development than he is
Got a hat-trick in the first half tonight as the U21s won 6-3 at Leicester. Rio Kyerematen got 2 and Leo Black came off the bench to get the 6th. There'll be a lot of hype and push for Williams-Barnett to be involved with the first team soon.
I doubt it, to be honest. We've got a lot of players ahead of him that aren't getting minutes. Maybe a place on the bench against Bodo/Glimt or something.
