Tottenham great Glenn Hoddle hailed the performance of Carlos Vinicius in last night's Europa League defeat of LASK.

The 25-year-old Brazilian recorded two assists by setting up Lucas Moura and Heung-min Son as Spurs began their Europa League campaign with a 3-0 win against the Austrian side.

Hoddle was full of praise for the 'exciting' forward, who arrived in the summer on a season-long loan deal from Benfica with an option to buy for £36million.

"He's going to have to play against better players, but he looks to me as if he's a focal point, he's got ability and awareness as well. It's exciting to see this young kid play.

"This tournament will be his tournament. I think he'll play most of the games and the League Cup.

"Jose wants to win trophies. he doesn't care if he wins the League Cup, Europa League, whatever, he wants to win silverware.

"It's a club that needs it. That'll be a stepping stone to something bigger along the way."
