Tottenham Hotspur midfielder Tyrese Hall has picked up the October Premier League 2 Player of the Month award while away on international duty with Jamaica. After missing out on the September award, the 21-year-old went one better this time around.

Tottenham Hotspur youngster Tyrese Hall has won the Premier League 2 Player of the Month prize for October. He got the news while away with Jamaica.

The 21-year-old beat seven other players on the shortlist to take the award. In seven league games for Wayne Burnett's Under 21s this season, he already has five goals and five assists.

Instead of slowing down, Hall played some of his best football in October. On 18 October, he opened the scoring against Leicester City with a smart chip over keeper Harry French in a 2-0 win.

One week later, he put in an even bigger display away at Middlesbrough. First, he tucked away a penalty to get his name on the scoresheet again.

Deep into stoppage time, he then set up Elisha Sowunmi for the winning goal in a 2-1 victory. Those three points kept Tottenham right at the top of the Premier League 2 table.

Who Hall beat to the prize as Spurs enjoy a big week of awards The league panel picked Hall ahead of a strong group of young players. Bournemouth pair George Chubinidze and Charlie Stevens were both up for the award with Adler Nascimento of Crystal Palace.

Fuad Smith from Nottingham Forest and Norwich City's Luke Towler also made the shortlist. Sunderland's Trey Samuel Ogunsuyi and Charlie Smith of Derby County were the other two nominees.
