‘Conte better tune in’: Some Spurs fans want new boss to check out their ‘unreal’ 20-year-old

Fri 5 November 2021 20:00, UK

A number of Spurs fans have urged new manager Antonio Conte to keep tabs on Dilan Markanday.

The highly-rated Tottenham academy striker is in action for the Under-23s tonight.

Spurs U23s are taking on their Brighton counterparts in the Premier League 2, and Markanday is in the starting XI.

The 20-year-old has a staggering nine goals and two assists from just nine Premier League 2 appearances this term.

In addition, he has two assists from three Papa John’s Trophy appearances this season.

Former Tottenham boss Nuno Espirito Santo gave Markanday his debut in the Europa Conference League loss at Vitesse in October.

He looked lively in his substitute appearance, clocking up some and looking better than many of his teammates on the night.

Upon seeing that Markanday was in the U23 starting XI, some Spurs fans hailed the talented forward:

Markanday will score at least a brace.
