Spurs youngster looking forward to Portugal trip

England U-17 coach Steve Cooper has named two Spurs players in his squad, one of which you'll find in yesterday's Twitter catch-up from the players and former player.



The two concerned are 16-year-old (17 next June) left-back Jaden Brown and fellow 16-year-old (17 next May) Samuel Shashoua.

Shashoua reveals he is looking forward to the trip to Portugal for the European qualifier game, having tweeted:

"Looking forward to going to Portugal with the @england u17 squad next week #euro qualifiers."

The squad travel next week to play three games with their opening First Round qualification match against San Marino on Tuesday 29 September. That is followed by a game against Armenia on Thursday 1 October and concludes with a game against Portugal on Sunday 4 October.

Thus far the team have beaten Italy and Turkey but been beaten 7-3 by Portugal at home so the face a tough finish to their trip.
