Adam Hayton is one of the youngsters in Tottenham Hotspur training ahead of their clash with Brentford on Thursday.

A big chance

Tottenham published training photos yesterday and it seems that Antonio Conte is keen to give the club’s brightest prospects their chance to impress.

Hayton was pictured with Harvey White, Nile John, Romaine Mundle and Maksim Paskotsi during the session.

Hayton is the most inexperienced of the group though, having only recently signed a professional contract with Spurs.

The 17-year-old goalkeeper has impressed with Tottenham’s under-18’s though, and it seems that the club’s coaching staff now are taking a closer look at him.

Hayton is still currently behind Hugo Lloris, Pierluigi Gollini and Brandon Austin in the pecking order for places at Spurs.

However, his exposure to senior training can only stand him in good stead for the future.

Hayton is one of a number of promising prospects currently breaking through at Spurs, with the club boasting some impressive talent in their development squads.

Tottenham’s game against Brentford tomorrow will surely come too soon for him, but it will be good for the youngster to be involved in the preparation for the game.

Spurs need to beat Brentford to close the gap down to the top four.

Conte has already stated that breaking into the Champions League qualification spots is his aim, and Tottenham could move to within one point of fourth with victory later this week.
