These Spurs fans are clearly hoping to see a lot more of Fagan-Walcott in the future.
What do we think?
It is perhaps premature to be describing Fagan-Walcott as ‘the next Ledley King’ as one fan did, but the fact that Mourinho trusted him to make his debut against Leipzig suggests that he has high hopes for the teenager.
