Antonio Conte has been putting his Tottenham Hotspur players through their paces ahead of their fourth Premier League match of the new season.

Spurs have begun the season brightly, winning two and drawing one of their opening three encounters.

Up next for Tottenham is Sunday’s trip to Premier League newcomers Nottingham Forest.

The Reds have done fairly well so far, picking up four points from their first three top-flight games in 23 years.

Tottenham will have to be mindful of Forest, a somewhat unknown quantity after making 16 new signings.

On Wednesday, Spurs shared pictures of their training session at Hotspur Way.

And amid all the regulars, academy star Romaine Mundle could be spotted in the photos.

The 19-year-old currently plays for Tottenham’s Under-21s, and has made three Premier League 2 appearances this season.

Mundle is yet to make his competitive senior Spurs debut. However, he was on the bench against Pacos de Ferreira last August.

“He is a real team player”

In July last year, Superhotspur wrote a detailed feature article on Mundle.

“Capable of operating as a winger on either flank, Mundle can also play as a CAM or as a central midfielder,” began the article.

“A really creative player who is quick and direct with the ball out on the flanks. (Mundle) is so reliable on the ball and he rarely loses possession.

“A player who takes up intelligent forward positions both out wide and in the oppositions penalty area, he is a good passer of the ball and I have always been impressed with his crosses into the box.

“A very technical footballer who is really skilful on the ball, the player who has been at Spurs for a long time tracks back and helps out the full-back well also, and he is a real team player.

“He is capable of beating players for skill alone, and his ability to pick a pass and get a really good amount of assists has made him a really important player for the Spurs Under-18 side over the last couple of seasons.”
