A clip of Tottenham Hotspur manager Jose Mourinho talking up the importance of ball boys has emerged online, and he’s earmarked Liverpool youngster Oakley Cannonier as the gold standard.
The 14-year-old was a ball boy at Anfield when we thrashed Barcelona 4-0 in the Champions League, and is responsible for Trent Alexander-Arnold receiving the ball rapidly enough to whip in a quick corner.
The Portuguese boss labelled the lad as “very intelligent, very bright“, before explaining that young Cannonier will have known exactly what Trent wanted.
Take a watch of the video below:
