After all, the Spurs youngster has moved to Fratton Park on loan having made only two first-team appearances for Jose Mourinho’s side.

The Fratton faithful should take note of the glowing reference the Tottenham boss provided the 19-year-old following those appearances against Ludogorets in the Europa League and more recently Marine in the FA Cup.

But perhaps an even better barometer of the player’s capabilities is Twitter, where no-one is shy in offering their opinion.

Pompey fans have been on the social platform looking for any nugget of information they can find on White.

They won’t be disappointed, with plenty of Spurs fans offering their views.

And they won’t be discouraged with what they read either, with the north Londoners clearly rating White as a player.

Here’s some examples of what Spurs fans have been saying about the youngster following confirmation of his loan move to Fratton Park.

@FplWinx: We're loaning you one of our biggest talents you should be excited.

His best asset is his technique but he isn't going to struggle with the physical side of the game.

He ran the hard yards against Marine both with speed and stamina and unless you've got a really really good set-piece specialist in your team Harvey will be on them in no time.
