Tottenham Hotspur Under-21 custodian Luke McGee has expressed his excitement at having had the opportunity to train with the seniors players and their goalkeeping coach.
For the 20-year-old it has been a dream journey having been involved significantly in their Under-21 Premier League campaign for the 2014/15 season and also getting the chance to start training with the first team under the guidance of senior players such as Hugo Lloris and Michel Vorm.
The youngster has also been named on the senior bench for the side's Europa League visit to Fiorentina and the subsequent FA Cup tie against Crystal Palace back in February this year, when skipper Lloris was absent.
While relishing those experiences and thanking the senior players and the goalkeeping coach, the youngster said that the experience has helped him improve immensely and the bits and pieces one can pick up while training with the seniors are a help.
“Obviously training every day with Hugo, Michel and Toni Jimenez, our goalkeeping coach, is helping me improve massively and you can pick up little things from everyone”, McGee told his club's official website.

Speaking about the progress the senior team have been making this season and the impact of that on individual players, the goalkeeper added: “The better we’re doing on the pitch, the more you want to be involved in it as well.
"The lads are coming in and performing well and it just makes you work harder in everything you do.
"It’s all very positive for me and as long as I have the right attitude and work ethic, I’m sure I’ll be able to make progress too."
