‘Top players’ – Solanke says two Spurs youngsters have impressed him already

Dominic Solanke may have only been at Tottenham for a little over a week but the striker has already been won over by Archie Gray and Lucas Bergvall.

Archie Gray and Lucas Bergvall

Both Gray and Bergvall arrived at Hotspur Way this summer, with the former making a move from Leeds while the latter linked up with the squad at the start of pre-season after Tottenham struck a deal for him in January.

Both the Englishman and the Swede were among Spurs’ best performers during pre-season, showing against the likes of Bayern Munich that they are not fazed by playing at this level.

Both midfielders made their Tottenham debuts against Leicester on Monday, coming on in the 78th alongside Timo Werner and Dejan Kulusevski as the away side went in search of a winner.

The youngsters gave an excellent account of themselves in their brief cameos, with Spurs looking a lot more threatening after they came on.

Solanke, who was also making his debut at the King Power Stadium, admitted that he is already a fan of the duo.

When asked about Gray and Bergvall, the striker told Tottenham’s official website: “They’re top players. I think they had a great pre-season from what I saw. Obviously, I have been with them for a week now and they are great talents.

“There is great talent throughout the whole team so I am looking forward to playing with them for the rest of the season.”

Ange’s decision to hand both players their debuts on Monday was a massive vote of confidence in the pair and is a sign that the former Leeds and Djurgarden stars are going to have an important role to play this season.
