Published: July 12, 2017
England U17 international of Nigerian parentage Timothy Eyoma made a rare appearance for the first team of Tottenham Hotspur in their 4-0 rout of Leyton Orient in a behind-closed-doors friendly on Wednesday.
Goals from Georges-Kevin Nkoudou, Kyle Walker-Peters, Jaden Brown and Will Miller secured the win for Spurs at Hotspur Way.
Eyoma has yet to feature competitively for the first team of Tottenham, but everything indicates that he will be promoted to their U23 squad in the new season after making three appearances for the side during the 2016-2017 season.
The 17-year-old starred for the Young Lions at this summer's European Under-17 Championship, and helped his country of birth qualify for the World Cup.
