Young Tottenham starlet Malachi Walcott has taken to Instagram to declare which two current first-teamers inspire him the most.

The prodigy has a bright future ahead of him and as a centre-back, he has selected Jan Vertonghen and Toby Alderweireld as the two players he looks up to the most.

A 17-year-old defender, Walcott has made seven appearances for the under-23 team this season during their Premier League 2 campaign.

Walcott took to social media to do a Q&A and was quizzed on who inspires him most at Tottenham.

He answered the experienced Belgian duo; with the pair clearly influential figures inside the dressing room.

Alderweireld recently signed a new deal with the club to continue his stay at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.

Vertonghen will see his £100,000-a-week contract expire in the summer and right now there seem no guarantees that he will sign a new one.

Both are vastly experienced players and Walcott will hope to pick up tips from the duo if he is given the chance to train with the first-team.

The Belgian pair have 216 caps between them for their country and Walcott couldn’t wish for a more experienced pair of role models.

Walcott looks like being one of the future. He signed a first professional deal in November and a former 200-metre sprinter, he looks like a defender with serious pace.

The youngster has excited fans of the under-23 outfit this season and as his boyhood club, he will be desperate to make the grade at Tottenham.
