Video: Tottenham’s 16-year-old phenomenon scores spectacular strike

Having won just one of their last six Premier League outings, perhaps Tottenham need a little boost in the final third.

How about a certain Samuel Shashoua?

The 16-year-old starlet scored twice for Spurs’ Under-18 side against Southampton, including this spectacular long-range effort, which was caught on camera via our friends at Furious Football Diaries (FFDTV).

Shashoua boasted a sharp turn on the edge of Saints’ 18-yard area, before unleashing a powerful low strike into the bottom corner, giving the goalkeeper no chance.

The highly-rated playmaker has also made his Tottenham Under-23 debut earlier this season against Chelsea at Stamford Bridge, whilst also being a regular international for England at Under-18 level.

Only time will tell whether Shashoua will make the first-team grade at White Hart Lane, although on this showing, manager Mauricio Pochettino must already be lining up future plans for the talented teenager.
