Latest Spurs videos from Sky Sports

Cassanova (CB, 20), Dorrington (CB, 19), Olusesi (CM, 17) and Williams-Barnett (AM, 16) all on the plane to Turkey!

A brief introduction for many posters to a couple of the younger players, although appreciate you know :

Calum Olusesi has been playing in same sides as Mikey Moore since quite young, Olusesi has started playing u21 football this season. Very good CM.

A year younger (but 2 academy years younger) than Moore and Olusesi, Luca Williams-Barnett will join Academy Year 1 next summer but has been playing for Spurs u18's this season. The 16-year-old's matches this season playing as a no 10 or LW :
v Crystal Palace - 2 goals
v Fulham - 1 goal & 2 assists
v Brighton - 1 goal
v Aston Villa - none
v Southampton - 1 goal
v Reading - 1 goal
v Norwich - 1 goal
v Man United - 3 goals & 1 assist
v West Ham - 2 goals
So 12 goals and 3 assists in 9 matches for the youngster who is playing up a year !

19 year old Alfie Dorrington is better known, but perhaps worth pointing out he would have been loaned out this season is not injured at back end of last season and only fit a few weeks into this season. Tall excellent ball playing CB who can carry ball into opposition penalty box - as he did in the high pressure u17 PL Cup Final last season.
 
lovely stuff, always bring a bottle or 3 back

seems better than Ouzo which is odd as they're basically the same.

Mastika from Bulgaria very good stuff too
There are several kinds and qualities of ouzo. Many are not completely a product of distillation and add pure alcohol as well (it's permitted by the law!). A rule of thumb is to prefer ouzo from Mitilini preferable of double distillation (Διπλής Απόσταξης). A couple of good brands are Pitsiladi (Πιτσιλαδή) and Varvagianni (Βαρβαγιάννη). You could also try Greek raki (tsipouro or tsikoudia) but please stick to the bottled ones. Never try home made (most of them have a high percentage of methanol).

In Boulgaria I tasted their golden (yellow) rake and it was delicious.
 
What players were on the plane to turkey any videos yet ?
Looks like:

Vicario
Forster
Austin

Dorrington
Dragusin
Davies
Cassanova
Porro

Gray
Sarr
Biss
Maddison
Olusesi
Bentancur
Kulusevski
Bergvall

Williams-Barnett
Son
Solanke
Lankshear
Johnson

Which is 21 players. Max matchday squad is 23 so could be a couple more not seen that have made it or we've just taken less.

edit: + Udogie so 22

No Udogie or Werner - neither likely to be omitted from the squad unless injured, although Udogie has certainly played in recent games and I'd keep him on the bench.
