From Tottenham's website....

Under-18s goalkeeper and captain Luca Gunter is eager to make a winning start in
this season’s FA Youth Cup when we host his former club Queen's Park Rangers
at Stevenage on Tuesday (7pm UK).

Our rearranged third round tie, postponed from last week due to the snow and Luca has
underlined the players’ desire to put on a good performance to kick-start what he hopes
will be a lengthy run in the prestigious competition.

“It’s a massive game – probably one of the biggest games of our season so far,” said the
17-year-old stopper, who started all three of our FA Youth Cup matches last season and has
been ever-present for the Under-18s in all competitions so far this term.

“The lads have been preparing really well, we’re ready for it and everyone is really looking
forward to the match. It’s really important for us as a team to have a good run in this
competition – it would be very disappointing if it was cut short, so we’re going to give
everything to try to get as far as we can.”

Part of QPR’s Academy until joining us as a 12-year-old, Luca is relishing the prospect of
playing against some of his old pals, but insists the only thing that matters on the night is victory for us.

“I was there when I was quite young so I don’t really know too much about how
they’ll play, but I know a couple of their players – you’ve got to respect any team you
play against, so we’re just looking forward to playing them and seeing what they’re about,” he said.

“We’ll try to give the best performance we can, hopefully be exciting, entertaining to
watch and hopefully get the win.”

Tickets will be available at the Lamex Stadium on the night.
