Dele Alli will be reunited with the next lower league player tipped to follow him into the big time when Spurs meet Gillingham in the Football League Cup at White Hart Lane on Wednesday.
The Kent club's 22-year-old goalscoring midfielder Bradley Dack has been valued at £5million and compared to Frank Lampard after netting 15 goals last season and scoring the winner at Premier League Watford in the last round.
Eighteen months ago, Dack outshone Alli when Gillingham beat MK Dons 4-2 but since then has seen the younger man shoot past him by signing for Tottenham and winning a starting place for England.
