De Zerbi calls up 15-year-old Tottenham wonderkid to first team training

Wait 5 sec.

Tottenham Hotspur head coach Roberto De Zerbi has once again shown his willingness to look towards the academy, with one of the club’s youngest talents now getting a closer look at senior level.De Zerbi revealed in July, during Tottenham’s tour of Australia and New Zealand, that he is ‘used to working with young players’ and that age is not a factor he considers when deciding whether someone is ready to play for his team. His record backs that up, too, having helped several youngsters break into senior football during previous spells in management, with Carlos Baleba, Manuel Locatelli and Jack Hinshelwood among those to go on and establish themselves at the highest level.The Italian also made a point of giving Tottenham’s academy players plenty of opportunities during pre season, handing minutes to 16 youngsters in total. Several of them caught the eye, including 17-year-old Luca Williams Barnett, Rio Kyerematen, Malachi Hardy and Tye Hall.Now, it appears another academy talent has been given a chance to experience life around the first team, despite being just 15 years old.Credit: @thatfootballphotog / InstagramAshiah Haughton-Sinclair joins Tottenham Hotspur first team trainingRoberto De Zerbi reportedly invited 15-year-old academy sensation Ashiah Haughton-Sinclair to train with Tottenham’s first team at Hotspur Way on Tuesday afternoon.Haughton-Sinclair attracted plenty of attention last season after becoming the youngest player ever to feature for Tottenham’s Under-18s side, ending the campaign with a staggering 90 goals and assists.The forward also earned his first call up to the England Under 16s squad last month and found the net against Italy in a 2 1 victory.The 2011-born has continued his impressive form for Spurs this season, already scoring 10 goals and providing 6 assists for the club’s youth teams.The youngster himself appeared to confirm the opportunity on social media through a since deleted Instagram story, with the caption: “First team training.”FITEEN-YEAR-OLD Ashiah Haughton-Sinclair trained with the #thfc FIRST TEAM today! 🤯Last season, he bagged 9️⃣0️⃣ (YES, NINETY) goals and assists for the Under 15’s, and he has started this season in the same rich form, hitting 1️⃣0️⃣ goals and 6️⃣ assists. ⚽️🅰️Harry Kane v2.0 💫 pic.twitter.com/qsix7Mvas4— Spurs Army (@SpursArmyTweets) September 8, 2026Another Tottenham youngster spotted ‘part of winning team’ in trainingAnother picture from Hotspur Way after Tuesday’s training session featured 17-year-old Tottenham academy star Armend Muslika with the winning side of a 7s training match.
