Although the international break is currently under way, things are even busier than usual at Spurs right now.

Tottenham brought in Antonio Conte just 10 days ago after parting company with Nuno Espirito Santo.

Conte won his first game in charge of Spurs – a 3-2 win over Vitesse in the Europa Conference League – before playing out a 0-0 draw at Everton in the Premier League.

Now, the Italian will get a good chance to familiarise himself with his new surroundings, plan transfer activity and, of course, take a look at the Tottenham players who haven’t gone away.

The international break will often see first-team managers take a closer look at fringe players and academy talents.

Max Robson is one of several youngsters who took part in training at Hotspur Way on Thursday.

The 19-year-old, an attacking midfielder, is fairly new to the Under-23s, having earned promotion over the summer.

Robson has 25 Under-18 appearances under his name, scoring four goals and claiming five assists.

He also has one goal from three UEFA Under-19 games, and has featured once in the Premier League 2, according to Transfermarkt.

One Spurs fan has compared his style of play to Jack Grealish:

Other Spurs academy stars took part in training under Conte this week.

Dilan Markanday, Jack Clarke, Harvey White, Tobi Omole and Marcel Lavinier, who have all trained with the first team in the past, were out on the training pitch.

Romaine Mundle, Dermi Lusala and Yago Santiago also featured.
