Alan Hutton, 25, wants to follow in Gareth Bale's footsteps and become the next Tottenham forgotten man to hit the big time.
Spurs boss Harry Redknapp talked up the Scottish fullback after victory over Wolves.
Hutton said: "With Gareth it shows how things can change. He wasn't playing but now he is such an important part of the team.
"I want to keep working hard and take my chance.
"It's been tough, all players want to play. "So when I get a chance I have to grab it with both hands."
