Is this the new Dele Alli? Tottenham hand youngster shock promotion
TOTTENHAM are hoping they have unearthed yet another young talent as 17-year-old George Marsh trained with the first team yesterday.

Marsh joined Spurs last summer and although he is a regular for the under-18s, he has begun to break into Ugo Ehiogu's under-21 side this season.
The midfielder was on the bench on Tuesday as Spurs were unable to stop Manchester United sealing the under-21 Premier League title with a 3-2 victory.
But the next day he was training alongside the senior Premier League title-chasers as Mauricio Pochettino got the chance to see one of his young charges up close.
"I thought George was terrific," McKenna said.
"He was very combative, he competed well, passed the ball well and filled in at right-back for the last 20 minutes where he did well too."
