Tottenham Hotspur promoted young midfielder Filip Lesinak to the first-team squad to face Leicester City in midweek - and Mauricio Pochettino was rewarded as the Slovakian youth international registered an assist on his Premier League debut.

Lesniak benefited from a series of injuries to take his place in the squad which travelled to the King Power Stadium and after teeing up Harry Kane's third goal of the night he looks set to be rewarded with another place in the squad at Hull City on the final day of the Premier League season.

Spurs fans are keen to see the young midfielder in action at Hull and here's all you need to know about him.

The defensive midfielder, who turned 21 on Sunday, is a Slovakian youth international and spent the first half of this season on loan at Czech side Slovan Liberec. There he got experience of first team football as well as turning out in the Europa League qualifying stages.

Lesniak has been a regular throughout the youth levels at Spurs' academy since joining from FC VSS Kosice in Slovakia in 2012.

Despite being a regular in the U23 development side in recent years, he had never really threatened to break into Mauricio Pochettino's first team set-up until last week.

His advanced age in terms of youth development, with the likes of Harry Winks and Josh Onomah preferred midfield younger options for the Spurs boss, means Lesniak's future has been in some doubt - but his performance on Thursday and opportunity today could change that.

Injuries and Onomah being away at the U20 World Cup with England could mean a spot on the bench for the tough tackling midfielder and something else for his footballing CV as he moves on in the game.
