Tottenham's ball boy hero from their midweek Champions League win joined the team for their pre-match lunch ahead of their clash with Bournemouth.

Callum Hynes' quick thinking helped set up Harry Kane's equalising goal five minutes into the second-half against Olympiacos on Wednesday.

The teenager fired the ball back to Serge Aurier for a throw in with the Ivorian finding Lucas Moura who swiftly squared for Kane to score.

Hynes was back at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium on Saturday afternoon with Kane introducing him to Toby Alderweireld, Heung-min Son and the rest squad ahead of their Premier League clash with Bournemouth.

"To do that you have to be a very good ball boy," Mourinho said of Hynes on Wednesday. "I was, between 10 and 15, 16-years-old, a very good ball boy.

"He is a very good ball boy, understands the game, reads the game. He's not there just to look to the stands, the lights or the scarves. He's there reading the game and playing the game very well."
