“He was so relaxed, trying to play forward and trying to give the team what the team needs, plenty of energy, full energy, I am so proud of him.“I think everyone is proud of him. He is only 18-years-old and I think it was fantastic.“Now I think it is going to be easy for him because always the debut you are nervous.“I remember when it was my first game and I said to him, ‘You look so relaxed. When I was 17, going to play I was so nervous’.“I said, ‘That is the difference between a player going to be a top player and a player who was going to be a normal player like me’.” Skipp is remarkably the 13th player to have come through the academy used by Pochettino in his four-year spell and with Spurs unable to match the spending force of their top-four rivals, their youth system remains a vital source.Pochettino added: “We are so happy. I want to congratulate the people in the academy, John [McDermott, academy head], Dean [Rastrick, academy manager] and the coaches and staff who work in education.“I think to build his career with him and to help him to build his career is fantastic.“The work they are doing is amazing and we need to profit from this work.provide the team that energy and quality player because he is a very good kid, a very good person and it is a fantastic thing for Tottenham.”
