Spurs star Dele Alli delighted for new England teammates Sancho, Hudson-Odoi

Tottenham ace Dele Alli is delighted seeing Callum Hudson-Odoi and Jadon Sancho make their England debuts.

Chelsea attacker Hudson-Odoi and Borussia Dortmund's Jadon Sancho both shone for the Euro qualifier rout of the Czech Republic.

“With the players coming in, they're pushing for places, everyone is having to fight for their place and it's always an honour to be called up so you have to fight for the badge," Alli told the Mirror. “They're both fantastic players, they're still young but have already proven they can cope at this level.

“I've seen them in training and they're amazing one-on-one. They're entertaining to watch which is great for the fans. But at the same time they're great team players.

“Obviously I've played against Callum at Chelsea . Watching Sancho play for Dortmund and what he's been doing has been great. It's good for English football as well, seeing what Sancho is doing in Germany. It's exciting times. I try to give them advice every now and then but they're great players."
