The Tottenham Hotspur teenager had some unexpected training partners this week.

Tottenham Hotspur fans got a welcome surprise this morning when it was announced that 17-year-old Dylan Duncan was asked to train with the senior England squad ahead of their clash with Spain later this week.

The teenager was used as England were without a number of stars due to injury, and it will have come as a huge boost both to the player and his club.

Duncan has only recently made the step up to under-21 level at Tottenham having previously impressed for the under-18s. However his latest experience could prompt him to kick on in the hope of repeating the feat in the future, this time as part of the official squad.

Duncan is one of a number of exciting teenagers at White Hart Lane right now and his progress has been hailed by those who keep a close eye on proceedings at the academy.
