Glenn Hoddle's academy players continue to attract interest from Football League clubs.
Hoddle was back at Spurs Lodge on Tuesday when a couple of players from his new project, the Glenn Hoddle Academy (GHA), played as trialists for Dagenham & Redbridge in a training ground friendly against a strong Spurs XI.
He told the Spurs website: "I'm here because we (GHA) played Dagenham last week and John Still, the Dagenham manager, said he wanted to have a look at a couple of the lads. They are playing in this game but I didn't realise we'd be playing against such a strong team! It's a great experience for them.
"The players are Curtley Williams, who was at Ipswich and we took into the Academy a year ago and Alex Fisher, who we only took a month ago. He's been playing in amateur football at Oxford City and he must be pinching himself at the moment.
"Last week he played against Under-20 teams from Real Madrid and Atletico Madrid, now he's playing against Jonathan Woodgate and Michael Dawson. He's learned a lot in the last month!
"It's so far, so good for the Academy. We've got seven or eight players back into the game and that's the objective, to give them that opportunity.
"One of those players is a dream story for us, Ikechi Anya. We took him from Halesowen and he's signed a two-year contract at Sevilla. He's already made his debut for the first team in a friendly and is doing wonderfully there.
"That's what this Academy is all about - we couldn't have scripted that better."
