The teenager has been likened to Premier League legends Patrick Vieira and Steven Gerrard for possessing a similar playing style to the duo (Spurs Web).

As explained by the media, his box-to-box style and never-ending energy marks him out as a raw talent who could one day become a first team regular under manager Jose Mourinho.
