Jose Mourinho comments on Tottenham youngster Alfie Devine

Tottenham Hotspur manager Jose Mourinho has revealed in his press conference today that he has sent Alfie Devine back to the academy.

Devine made his debut in the FA Cup victory over Marine on Sunday, where he broke two records for the club.

He became the youngest ever player to represent the Spurs senior team at just 16 years and 163 days old as he came on in the second half.

The record was previously held by Devine’s academy team-mate Dane Scarlett who featured in the Europa a couple of months back.

He became the club’s youngest ever goalscorer as well when he drilled home with a right-footed finish.
