Tottenham midfielder Harvey White happy grabbing friendly chance

Tottenham Hotspur midfielder Harvey White admits he has easily adapted to the demands of manager Antonio Conte.

The 21-year-old has played Spurs' friendly games during the World Cup break, against Motherwell and Peterborough Under-21s.

White has been employed as a central, defensive, and attacking midfielder, while he recently moved up to a false nine position.

"It's good to get minutes in the tank and nice to get on the scoresheet. It doesn't happen that often! But when I got the chance, I wanted to be as clinical as possible," he said in an in-house interview with the club.

"It's a different role, but in many ways it's like playing as a holding midfielder, my usual position. The passing patterns are similar, one-two touch, everything I'm used to, and then playing with Deki [Kulusevski] and Bryan [Gil], that's been great, we're all on the same wavelength."
