Video: Tottenham fans will love what Dele Alli just said about Luca Williams-Barnett

Former Tottenham Hotspur midfielder Dele Alli praised 17-year-old Spurs academy star Luca Williams-Barnett during a live stream with Kyle Walker-Peters. After watching video highlights of the young attacker sent by followers, Alli declared that Williams-Barnett possessed "real talent" and was a "baller." The praise follows the teenager scoring in consecutive appearances for England's Under-19 team against Norway and the United States.

Spurs Web reports that Williams-Barnett is increasingly viewed as a first-team option, being the only academy player featured in the club's 2026-27 squad photo. Manager Roberto De Zerbi previously described the youngster as a "precious diamond," though the article notes the attacker may have to wait until the FA Cup to make his competitive senior start.
