Frank Hints at Carabao Cup Involvement for 16-Year-Old Spurs Prospect Luca Williams-Barnett

The academy forward has propelled himself into consideration with prolific form in PL2 plus the UEFA Youth League.

Overview

  • Thomas Frank said the teenager could be included against Doncaster in the Carabao Cup, stopping short of confirming a debut.
  • Luca Williams-Barnett was left out of the U21 squad on Tuesday, a move viewed as a sign he may join the senior group for the tie.
  • The 16-year-old has four goals and two assists in four PL2 matches, including a hat-trick and assist against Leicester.
  • He also registered a goal and an assist in the UEFA Youth League and has scored for England Under-18s this month.
  • Frank and Spurs coaches praise his composure, technique and vision, noting he has trained with the first team and previously made senior benches without yet debuting.
