Tottenham Hotspur have taken four exciting academy stars to Hungary for their Europa League clash against Ferencvarosi.
Spurs won their opening European fixture against Qarabag as they cruised to a 3-0 win at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.
Goals from Brennan Johnson, Pape Matar Sarr and Dominic Solanke got the Lilywhites off to the perfect start as they secured a big three points.
Next up they face the Hungarian champions who have won all of their first six league matches but were beaten by Anderlecht in their first Europa match.
Ange Postecoglou is expected to make several changes from the team that defeated Manchester United at Old Trafford and could hand several teenagers some big minutes.
Mikey Moore
Tottenham fans will be desperate to see Mikey Moore against Ferencvarosi and they could get their wish following Timo Werner’s display against Man United.
The German spurned a hatful of chances against the Red Devils and was replaced by Moore with 15 minutes to play.
The 17-year-old produced an impressive cameo and came close to topping it off with a goal, as his long-range effort curled just wide of Andre Onana’s far post. He will now be hoping to make his first senior start after impressing against United.
Will Lankshear
Will Lankshear may also find his way into the team with Heung-min Son and Richarlison both injured and the need to rest Dominic Solanke.
At this stage, Solanke starting ahead of the young striker seems more likely, especially given the fact that he has just returned from a minor hamstring injury.
Lankshear produced an impressive performance against League One side Bristol Rovers in the EFL Trophy for Tottenham Under-21s. He scored a great goal against senior opposition which will have caught the eye of Postecoglou.
Alfie Dorrington
Alfie Dorrington is a slight surprise inclusion in the squad considering he has just returned from a very long spell on the sidelines.
The defender missed a large chunk of Spurs’ Under-21’s PL2 title-winning campaign as he suffered a bad hamstring injury which required surgery.
The injury came just at the wrong moment for the Dorrigton who was starting to show real promise and the chance to get first-team minutes, alongside Moore and Lankshear. Hopefully, he can make his first-team debut in Hungary.
Dante Cassanova
Dante Cassanova has been rewarded for his impressive form for the Under-21s with a call-up to Postecoglou’s first-team squad.
The versatile 20-year-old can play as either a central midfielder or right-back and was even used in central defence for the academy. He has recently been appointed the Under-21’s captain.
Cassanova played a big role in helping the Under-21s win the Premier League 2 last season as he made 19 appearances in the competition.
