Alasdair Gold has sung the praises of Tottenham’s academy striker Will Lankshear after the teenager clinched the record for the fastest ever hattrick at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.

Tottenham’s Under-21s booked their place in the quarterfinal of the Premier League Cup after thrashing Fleetwood Town 6-0 in the round of 16 stage on Saturday.

Donley, who has struck up a great understanding with the centre-forward, told Football London earlier this week that his teammate is ready to make the step up to the senior side.
