Tottenham Hotspur teenager Rio Kyerematen has spoken of his pride at signing his first professional deal with the club.
The England U17 central midfielder put pen to paper this month after turning 17 and following a season in which he made 27 appearances in all competitions for Spurs' U18s last term, scoring seven goals from the midfield and providing four assists for his team-mates.
Kyerematen made three appearances in the FA Youth Cup, and he was also called up by Wayne Burnett to feature once for Tottenham's U23s development squad in the Premier League 2, coming off the bench for 17 minutes in February against Crystal Palace. The youngster has trained with the first team on occasions this season, and he also played his part during England's European U17 Championship qualification campaign, starting regularly and captaining the side during a 1-0 victory against Belarus.
