Djed Spence sends Tottenham message with display as Destiny Udogie shows fans what to expect

Tottenham Hotspur fans were given a glimpse of the present and future with four players on display as England U21s beat their Italian counterparts on Thursday evening.

The friendly match in Pescara provided a lightning-fast start from England as Sheffield United striker Rhian Brewster netted twice within the first five minutes and the 2-0 scoreline remained the same at its end. However, that does not tell the whole story as Spurs had four talented young players on display at one point, all trying to gain something from the encounter on a personal level as well as a team one.

England U21s boss Lee Carsley named Djed Spence, Oliver Skipp and Ryan Sessegnon - all 22-years-old - in his starting line-up for the game with the trio all at different points in their match sharpness.
