Former Liverpool and England captain Steven Gerrard has praised Tottenham Hotspur teenager Luca Williams-Barnett following the youngster's Premier League debut. Gerrard described the 17-year-old as "one to watch" after his first appearance in the top flight.
Williams-Barnett, a product of Tottenham's academy, made his senior debut in a recent league fixture. The attacking midfielder has been highly rated within the club's youth setup and his promotion to the first team has been anticipated.
Gerrard, who currently manages in Saudi Arabia, highlighted the player's technical ability and composure on the ball. The endorsement from a player of Gerrard's stature will add to the growing excitement around the prospect's potential.
