Roberto De Zerbi confirms Luca Williams-Barnett ready for Premier League start

Roberto De Zerbi has stated that Tottenham's 18-year-old prospect, Luca Williams-Barnett, is prepared for his first Premier League start against Leeds United on Saturday. Williams-Barnett impressed during a substitute appearance in last week's 2-0 victory over Crystal Palace. Despite limited first-team experience, De Zerbi believes in his qualities and has integrated him into first-team training. Tottenham, currently ninth in the league standings, will seek to extend their unbeaten run to five matches, while Leeds aims to recover from a winless streak in their quest for points.
