Cristian Stellini has confirmed that Tottenham youngster Alfie Devine now trains with the first-team squad on a full-time basis. Moving to north London from Wigan Athletic in July 2020, the talented midfielder has made a huge impression in his short time in the capital.
Netting a goal on his senior debut for the club as he came off the bench in their FA Cup tie away at non-league side Marine, the 18-year-old has made the matchday squad on a handful of occasions since then. Devine was part of the squad for last Tuesday's Champions League defeat away at AC Milan with Antonio Conte short on midfielders at present.
A regular on the training pitch at Hotspur Way, Stellini was asked by football.london if the Warrington-born ace is now a fully fledged member of the first-team squad rather than just splitting his time between them and the Under-21s.
