On Thursday, Carter-Vickers took to Twitter to react after making his first start, admitting that he was happy to play, and hopes it was just the first of many appearances for Spurs.
Having seemingly forced his way ahead of Austrian international Kevin Wimmer in Tottenham’s pecking order, Carter-Vickers may well see more first-team football this season – and will be hoping to become the latest in a long line of success stories for Tottenham’s academy.
