US youth international and 18-year-old Cameron Carter-Vickers made his debut for the Tottenham Hotspurs Wednesday night in the League Cup. The centerback played the entire 90-minutes as Tottenham beat out third-tier Gillingham 5-0.
Not only was this the USMNT hopeful’s first professional game with Tottenham, manager Mauricio Pochettino was full of praise for Carter-Vickers.
For me, he can be one of the best centerbacks in England in the future. He has a strong mentality and all the qualities for playing center back. Does he remind me of myself as a player? No, he is better than me.
