Wales's Connor Roberts hopes to follow in footsteps of Tottenham's Ben Davies

Roberts hopes to emulate Tottenham's Davies

Swansea City defender Connor Roberts has claimed that he hopes to carve out a similar career to that of Tottenham Hotspur left-back Ben Davies.

The 22-year-old is due to make his international debut for Wales this week after being included in Ryan Giggs's squad for the China Cup.

Roberts's fellow countryman Davies also began his career at Swansea, but earned himself a move to Tottenham Hotspur in 2014.

"I'll chat with [Davies] and hopefully he can pass on a few words of wisdom," BBC Sport quotes the young defender as saying.

"It's just massive to see a boy that's come up like I have, doing so well and hopefully I can follow him in a few of his footsteps."

Davies has made 150 appearances in the Premier League so far in his career.
