Hello and welcome to our look ahead to what the papers will be bringing us tomorrow. With me are the spectators deputy Political Editor katy balls, and jack blanchard, editor of the politico london playbook. Many of tomorrows front pages are already in.

I think that hes a very interesting player he is really come from nowhere he wasnt fancy at the start of a contest showed up very well in the early trials take at the rate that the watchers have been very very struck by
