Tottenham Hotspur’s Mason Melia is to win his first Ireland senior call-up next week but his fellow million euro kid Victor Ozhianvuna will have to wait for his fast-tracking.

Melia officially joined Spurs in January after his €1.8m transfer from St Patrick’s Athletic set a new League of Ireland fee record.
