Tottenham midfielder Alfie Devine has made a fantastic start to his loan spell at Plymouth Argyle with an assist on his debut.
The highly-rated Tottenham youngster spent the first half of the season at EFL League One outfit Port Vale where he hugely impressed, scoring 3 goals and assisting 3 in 26 appearances.
Spurs decided to call him back this month in a bid to step up his development by sending him out to Championship side Plymouth.
And he seemed to have no problem performing at the higher level. With Plymouth 1-0 down, it took Devine just over 30 minutes to prove he can adapt to the Championship.
He got his first assist as he set up Ryan Hardie’s equalising goal.

Highly regarded at Tottenham, Devine has previously featured and scored for the first team in the FA Cup.
His overall record includes 13 goals and 7 assists in 48 appearances for the Spurs U21s, indicating the club’s strategic approach in preparing him for first-team action through well-planned loan moves.
