Tottenham Hotspur have a number of their players on England duty at this current moment in time.

Tottenham ace Dele Alli is in absolute awe at what England duo Callum Hudson-Odoi and Jadon Sancho have been doing in training whilst on international duty.

Midfielder Alli singled out their ‘amazing’ one-on-one skills in training as he stated that they are both ‘entertaining’ to watch and these are ‘exciting times’ for the Three Lions.

Both Alli and Sancho started for Gareth Southgate’s side as they recorded an emphatic 5-0 win over the Czech Republic last Friday, with Hudson-Odoi coming off the bench.

Ahead of England’s away clash at Montenegro on Monday night, Alli, who will be looking to make another start, spoke highly about his teammates and what they are bringing to the table.

“They’re both fantastic players,” said Alli, as quoted by the Evening Standard. “They’re still young but have already proven they can cope at this level. I’ve seen them in training and they’re amazing one-on-one and things like that.

“They’re entertaining to watch which is great for the fans. But at the same time, they’re great team players I’ve played against Callum at Chelsea, been watching Sancho play for Dortmund and what he’s been doing has been great.

“It’s good for English football as well, seeing what Sancho is doing in Germany. It’s exciting times. It’s good to watch them, try to give them advice every now and then, but they’re great players.”

Sancho started out on the flanks for England against the Czech’s and the highly-rated youngster impressed, with his showboating and ability to put the ball in the danger area standing out.

In the second-half, Southgate opted to introduce Hudson-Odoi into the action and he didn’t disappoint on his debut, constantly testing the opposition with his direct running, with his shot resulting in the fifth goal.

Alli, who moved to Tottenham from League One side MK Dons in 2015, is proof that you can make a name for yourself if you are given the opportunity.

The attacking midfielder has gone from scoring goals in the third tier of English football to constantly finding the back of the net in the Premier League and for England.
