'Beautiful' new stadium stuns Tottenham U18s: 'I've never seen anything like it!'

Tottenham's Under-18 team got their first taste of the new stadium as the youngsters prepare to play the first ever game at the ground on Sunday.

Spurs have confirmed the long-awaited first game at their new 62,000-seater home will be a Premier League clash with Crystal Palace on April 3, following two test events.

The U18s side will host Southampton on Sunday, before a Spurs 'Legends' team, set to include former striker Jurgen Klinsmann, will go up against Inter Forever on March 30 in front of what is expected to be a crowd in the region of some 45,000.

Spurs released a video on Twitter showing their U18 squad visiting the new stadium ahead of Sunday's test event, and the youngsters had their breath taken away.

Defender Brooklyn Lyons-Foster said of the ground: "I've never seen anything like it. I just think it is beautiful."

After walking out of the tunnel for the first time, midfielder Rayan Clarke said: "It was very overwhelming, obviously it's something new for me.

"Being so young, you don't really get many opportunities to walk out into a stadium like this."

Asked about what playing the first game will feel like, Lyons-Foster replied: "It will be amazing, I can't wait for it.

"I feel honoured and privileged to be involved. I'm just looking forward to it now."

Clarke added: "It's a great honour. Speaking to a couple of the lads I know that they feel very privileged as I do to play here, especially being the first. I can only be thankful."
