‘Ridiculous talent’ – Some Spurs fans react to 18-year-old’s international display

Some Tottenham fans have been left extremely impressed by Maksim Paskotsi’s performance as Estonia played out a 0-0 draw against Wales on Wednesday.

Estonia went into the game in Cardiff as massive underdogs, having lost against a weakened Belgian side as well as Northern Ireland last week.

However, against the odds, the Baltic nation managed to frustrate Wales and come away with a point from the game.

Paskotsi put in an accomplished display in the right side of a back three against a strong Wales forward line that featured the likes of Gareth Bale and Daniel James.

The 18-year-old was used as a right-back in pre-season by Nuno Espirito Santo and was handed his competitive Spurs first-team debut in the 1-0 first-leg loss Pacos De Ferriera last month.

On seeing Paskotsi’s accomplished display on Wednesday, some Spurs fans are excited to see how the defender will develop over the coming years.

Spurs Web Opinion

I am not on the Paskotsi hype train just yet and will wait to see more of him before making up my mind. However, the experience of playing high-pressure international matches at such a young age will certainly hold him in good stead. The 18-year-old might get a chance to prove himself in the Europa Conference League this season.
