Right-back Kane Vincent-Young says this afternoon’s friendly against Premier League Tottenham Hotspur at their new stadium is going to be “an amazing experience”.

The 24-year-old, who is from Camden, was with Spurs academy from the age of 11 until being released in 2014.

"I think I speak for everybody when I say it’s going to be an amazing experience, going to a world class stadium and playing against top players," he told the club website. "We’ll just have to relish and enjoy it.

"People see them week-in, week-out on TV, they know the quality that they have. We want to make it competitive as well.”

Vincent-Young, who joined the Blues for £500,000 from Colchester a year ago this week, played his first game since October against the U’s on Tuesday, featuring for the whole of the 4-0 win in the first of the two 75-minute matches, having undergone two groin operations over the course of last season.

"I think it was 10 months since I last played and there was a bunch of other boys who hadn't played for a long time so for us to come through that with two really strong performances, it gives us a lot to take forward,” he added.

"The performances in both games were equally strong for different reasons. It was definitely something to build on. Hopefully we can continue to do the same as the games come and then when the fans come back, we’ll be on top form."

The game is being streamed live with Away Match Passes available for £10 here after completing the registration page.

The Blues will receive a percentage of revenue generated by their supporters with a dropdown box indicating which club fans support.

Bert added 12:18 - Aug 22 KVY was one of the few good things about last season. Solid and adventurous. If the team clicks, top two is there to be taken. Not expecting a result today but a tidy, professional performance will help the confidence of players and fans.

dirtydingusmagee added 13:21 - Aug 22 He performed well in the short spell he played for us but he has yet to prove he is the player some think he is, long term . I think people are pinning too much hope /expectation on him . This will put pressure on the player, he is part of a team , not Superman. Good to see him back non the less.
