Tottenham Hotspur boss Antonio Conte has been putting the Spurs players through their paces ahead of this weekend’s Premier League encounter.

Tottenham have been inconsistent in recent weeks, following up impressive victories with disappointing defeats.

Since Spurs beat Manchester City on 19 February, they have alternated between wins and losses.

Tottenham won last time out, beating Brighton 2-0 away, and now they’ll hope to get a result against West Ham.

Conte’s charges will hope to make the most of home advantage for Sunday’s 4:30pm kickoff.

However, the Hammers are also vying for a top-four finish and will prove tough opposition for Spurs.

In addition, David Moyes’ charges go into the game on the back of a dramatic European night on Thursday.

They overturned a 1-0 first-leg deficit against Sevilla to proceed to the Europa League quarter-finals 2-1 on aggregate.

On Friday, Spurs published photos from their latest training session at Hotspur Way.

Along with the first-team players, some academy stars also took part in the session.

One of those was Max Robson, a talented Under-23s midfielder who can also play at No. 10.

The 19-year-old is in his first year as a professional at Tottenham and this is his maiden season with the U23s.

Robson made his first U23s appearance in January, replacing Yago Santiago in the Premier League 2 loss to Everton.

Since then, he has featured more regularly, playing against the U23s of Crystal Palace, Leeds, Arsenal and Liverpool.

Robson also wasn’t in the squad for Tottenham U23s’ meeting with their Leicester counterparts on Friday.

“Tremendous”

Superhotspur wrote about the talented teenager back in January and sung his praises.

“A versatile but very talented and determined player on the pitch, Robson is fearless on the ball,” they wrote.

“But it’s his ability to get into really good pockets of space, which makes him so potent inside the penalty area.

“He also has very good reactions and can dribble with the ball at a good pace, as well.

“I’m a big fan of the CAM, and while he clearly has a tremendous work ethic on the pitch, his quality with the ball is excellent, and he’s a real joy to watch on the pitch.”
