Defender Charlie Sayers, who joined the Tottenham academy back in December, trained with the Spurs first-team before their clash against Southampton yesterday.
Sayers, who can operate as a centre-back or left-back, made six first-team appearances for Southend United in the National League during the first few months of the campaign (Transfermarkt).
The teenager previously represented Billericay Town at the Under-13 and Under-15 level and moved to Bowers & Pitsea, for whom he played in the Under-16s, Under-18s and Under-23s.
Spurs confirmed their capture of the 18-year-old ahead of the January transfer window.
Since his move to North London, the youngster has featured three times for Tottenham’s Under-18s, scoring one goal (Transfermarkt).
Just a couple of months into his time at Spurs, Sayers has already got an opportunity to train with the superstars in the first-team.
In the video of first-team training posted on Spurs TV this week, the former Southend man was seen training with Antonio Conte’s squad along with several other youngsters from the academy.

The fact that Sayers got an opportunity to train with the first team so early into his time at the club suggests that he has made a good impression among the academy coaches at Spurs.
The youngster will be hoping to establish himself in the Under-18s’ starting lineup this season before potentially staking a claim to be part of the Under-23s squad next campaign.
