Played about half his youth games as CB on the left side, despite being mainly right footed.

Didn't play a lot as a FB in Spurs youth, almost always as CB, but think I've seen him play both RB and LB..... Was surprised to see him play RB for the first team due to his limited experience as RB in Spurs youth, so haven't ruled out seeing him play LB at some stage to see if he can do it in PL.

Versatile lad even if its just playing both CB positions and RB, and invaluable in a squad

If he can shoot like that shown in post 313 then he can certainly play left back.
I haven't seen him use his left foot in the first team so far though.

Do you realise how hard it is to shoot like that with your weaker foot? I was two footed and I was comfortable playing left back but I would struggle to strike the ball that well with my left foot.

.....Ergo, he's got what it takes to play FB whatever his strongest foot? That's what defines playing FB at the highest level is it?
