Jol praises starletSpurs boss Martin Jol says midfielder Tom Huddlestone has similar characteristics to German great Franz Beckenbauer.
He said: "Tom has played in defence but he's a typical midfield player,"
"At the back he would be a sort of Franz Beckenbauer.
"As a sweeper he would be the best player in the world - but who plays with a sweeper nowadays?
"Tom is 19, he's big. It can be an advantage, it can be a disadvantage but the boy is great.
"I would almost say that I have never seen a player like him, when he's got the ball. Now we have to work on his game when he hasn't got the ball"
