Tottenham Hotspur's Mason Melia had a big chance to impress Spurs boss Roberto De Zerbi in the Republic of Ireland's 1-1 draw against Canada. The 18-year-old striker is highly rated in his homeland and is aiming to make a name for himself at Tottenham. Melia made his senior international debut for Ireland last week and has been training with the Spurs first team. He had a huge chance to win the friendly game against Canada, but his shot was saved by the hosts' goalkeeper. Despite the disappointment, Melia is determined to impress De Zerbi and make a breakthrough at Tottenham. He has been working hard to overcome a back issue and a chest infection, and is now focusing on his football development. Melia's experience with the Irish national team has given him valuable exposure and experience, and he is eager to apply what he has learned at Tottenham. The young striker is aware of the physicality of the men's game and has played 98 senior games for St Pat's before joining Tottenham. He is well aware of the demands of the Premier League and is determined to make a name for himself at the club.
