Dele Alli has moved to praise Tottenham Hotspur youngster Alfie Devine on his own Instagram Live.
Devine only joined Tottenham from Wigan Athletic in the summer, but the 16-year-old has made quick progress in North London.
Devine is already a regular member of Tottenham’s first-team training, with Jose Mourinho taking a shine to the midfielder.
And it seems that Alli is also backing Devine to break through at Spurs sooner rather than later.
“Alfie Devine is a very good player. Don’t sleep on him,” Alli said.
Devine has already become Tottenham’s youngest ever scorer this season, after netting against Marine on his debut in the FA Cup.
The teenager has been a regular member of Spurs’ under-23 squad and looks at home, playing well above his age level.
He is part of an exciting group of youngsters hoping to make the grade at Tottenham currently, alongside the likes of Oliver Skipp and Dane Scarlett.
