Away from Spurs, Byfield also plays for England’s Under 17s, and took part in the recent World Cup in Qatar.
Frank is aware of his talent, with the defender on the bench during Tottenham’s UEFA Super Cup defeat in August.
Now, Byfield is used in Spurs’ Under 21s squad instead of the Under 17s as he looks to soon make his Tottenham first-team debut.
Hopefully, the youngster will get his chance under Frank, as he continues to grow into a top player.
