I still don’t get why CCV has never been deemed worthy of a chance with the senior squad.
i agree he has looked Ok each time I’ve seen him.

I'm from Bedfordshire so lots of Luton fans here who all say carter Vickers was unreal for them last year big part of them staying up...
He's not 'white' and is London born, but beyond that I have no idea if he's of mixed ethnicity. I can see a variety of African and Dravidian traits, and Mathurin is a French name, so I would lean towards South East Indian as that's also where you can find the afro-textured hair too, which I guess is British Asian. Roshaun is an African-American based name though, so a bit of a curve-ball when making a guess.

Hopefully no one is somehow offended by that analysis (you never know) but I find it interesting. India has such a diverse genetic basis beyond what I think people would normally identify.
He is not indian i can verify that, however at spurs we do have one player of indian descent that has played through most of our youth teams and is now in u23, he is Dilan Markanday.
Trent would have been their only prospect for that age group, maybe Dhanda so easy pick for them. I'll be honest as good and promising as CCV was, Edwards was light years our most talented player. I assume CCV got the spot as he would've gone to the u20 World Cup that year at 17 and I think made someones TOTT. So If they don't actually watch players and look at what's on paper then I can see why CCV would've made the cut. He was and is a very good CB
Arsenal are incredible at finding these youngsters with huge potential.Alfie is listed by the Guardian as one to watch....

After seeing that Wolves lad i was just going to say you really don’t see that many South Asian footballers coming through or really playing in the European leagues, i’m actually struggling to think of many other than Hamza Choudhury who is mixed South Asian/West Indian.
Apart from our own Dilan Markanday, there was Yann Dhanda at Liverpool who is now at Swansea. There is also Hamza Choudhury at Leicester.
There have been a small number of footballers with mixed British and South Asian heritage including Michael Chopra, Neil Taylor and Danny Baath (Ex Wolves).
Bayern have a young New Zealand international Sarpreet Singh who has been loaned to Nuremberg.

We've had 4 asian boys in our academy at the same time recently in age order Dylan Duncan (99), Dilan Markanday(01), Dillon Desilva(02) now at QPR and Dhillon Sandhu-Nelson (04) who is an u16 but I haven't heard about him in a while so he may have left. Yes, I think we are looking to exhaust all variations of the first name before we move onto another.
Easah Suliman who played for England with Edwards has also followed him to Vitoria and seems to be doing well there.
