A report urged Tottenham manager Roberto De Zerbi to consider starting 18-year-old Luca Williams-Barnett against Leeds United on Saturday. The youngster made his Premier League debut against Crystal Palace, coming on for Mathys Tel in the closing minutes and creating a chance for Mohammed Kudus after getting past two defenders.
A report urged Tottenham manager Roberto De Zerbi to consider starting youngster Luca Williams-Barnett against Leeds United on Saturday. The 18-year-old made his Premier League debut against Crystal Palace, coming on for Mathys Tel in the closing minutes and creating a chance for Mohammed Kudus after getting past two defenders.
De Zerbi praised Williams-Barnett’s talent after the match, while Steven Gerrard described him as a player worth keeping an eye on. The manager faces a decision over whether to start him against Leeds or keep him on the bench; it remains unclear whether he will hand him his first start, despite his appearance in team training this week.
According to a poll conducted by football.london, 65 per cent of 3134 participants supported giving him a start against Leeds, while 34 per cent were opposed and one per cent were undecided.
