“It has always been my dream to play for such a big club and, seriously, I can’t find the words to describe this moment”, the 18-year-old was quoted as saying by Tottenham’s official site.
“Since I came to this club when I was 15 it was always my goal to come on and finally it happened against Sunderland. It’s my first step and hopefully I can go on and play many more games in the future.
