Luca Williams-Barnett has more than Tottenham promotion on cards after latest England U19s exploits
Luca Williams-Barnett has been making his own case to start for Tottenham Hotspur over the international break.
The N17 gem is highly rated at Hotspur Way, with many fans eager to see him given a chance in the first team.
Roberto De Zerbi has claimed that youngsters will be given a chance, but only if they are good enough, as several youth products have been in and around Spurs' first team since his arrival.
Mikey Moore started in the Lilywhites' opening Premier League game of the season, while Williams-Barnett has been in multiple matchday squads.
The versatile forward was called up to England's U19s squad ahead of the break, scoring in a 2-1 win over Norway in a friendly.
Williams-Barnett played once again for England's U19s on Friday, as the Tottenham youngster helped his nation to a 2-1 win over the USA this time.
Why Luca Williams-Barnett is not only due Tottenham promotion
Williams-Barnett has been flirting with Tottenham's first team so far this season, but also plays for the U21s.
He played in pre-season friendlies against MK Dons, Auckland FC, Sydney FC and Chelsea, making his first appearance of the season for the first team in the 5-1 win over Charlton in the Carabao Cup.
The 18-year-old last played for Tottenham's U21s before the international break, scoring and grabbing an assist in a 4-2 win over Manchester City in the Premier League 2.
The attacking midfielder earned an 8.7 FotMob rating for his performance, continuing to show why he deserves a full-time promotion to Spurs' starting squad.
However, Williams-Barnett got on the scoresheet once again for England's U19s against the USA, scoring the decisive goal on the hour mark to give the young Three Lions the win.
The teenager is now starting to show that not only does he deserve a promotion at Spurs, but he should also be allowed to take the next step up in England's academy.
England have U20s and U21s teams, and Williams-Barnett has surely done enough to earn a promotion for the next international break.
How Williams-Barnett outshone record-breaking Arsenal youngster for England's U19s
Williams-Barnett is arguably Tottenham's most valuable youngster right now.
Tottenham are struggling in attack, which only makes the youngster's case for being in the team even stronger, as his flair and dynamism could add another element for Spurs in the final third.
He played in the same England U19s team as Max Dowman against the USA, though the Arsenal kid was sent off in the 74th minute, almost costing the Three Lions the game.
He holds the record as the youngest scorer in the history of the Premier League and is highly rated by Mikel Arteta and others.
If Dowman is good enough to play for the Gunners, then how is Williams-Barnett not good enough for Tottenham yet?
