England’s Ashes hero Ben Stokes has declared himself a Tottenham fan.
The all-rounder, whose majestic innings at Headingley last weekend helped keep England’s contest with Australia alive, received a Spurs shirt with his name and the number 55 on the back.
Having previously not attached himself to a particular team, New Zealand-born Stokes was swayed towards Mauricio Pochettino’s side.
