Earlier today Spurs under 21’s were involved in a 1-1 draw with league two side Yeovil town at Hotspur way. The youngsters done well to draw with the Glovers senior side and taking into consideration the Lillywhites were 1-0 down it was a well fought battle, with Ryan Loft securing the draw after being played in by Shilow Tracey on the right hand side Loft hammered home. In addition our under 18’s were involved in a 3-0 victory over QPR in a behind closed doors friendly on Friday. The under 18’s side which included a host of first year scholars took the lead after forward Reo Griffiths slotted home from within the inside of the box on 16 minutes. Winger Keanan Bennetts doubled our lead shortly after the beginning of the second half after he headed home from the resulting cross delivered by Tariq Hinds, and the young Lillywhites got their third of the game 20 minutes in to the second half through striker Aramide Oteh after Jon Dinzeyi played the ball upfield for Bennetts whose resulting effort was blocked,  Oteh slotted home from close range.

Five players that could make their under 21’s debut next season:

Five players that could make their under 21’s debut next season:

image.jpeg
In the following article I have included a list of five Spurs under 18 players that I believe could potentially feature for the under 21 side during next seasons campaign in the Barclays under 21 premier league, I have not included players that have already made their debuts for the under 21 side in the previous campaign. There are also a host of other players from the under 18’s side that may well make their first appearance for the Spurs under 21’s side during next seasons campaign.

Nick Tsaroulla: The talented left back made 15 appearances for the under 18’s side last season and was impressive throughout the campaign for Kieran McKenna’s side. Tsaroulla scored his first goal for the under 18’s in a 2-1 win against Southampton in November of last year, the current under 21 side don’t have many left backs and next season could potentially be the season in which Tsaroulla establishes himself as a regular with in the side. The left back who can also operate as a left winger, is in my opinion nearly ready to make that step up, with all the raw attributes and the talent to succeed Tsaroulla could have a very successful season ahead of him in the 2016/17 campaign.

Jaden Brown: An England under 17 international, Jaden Brown was a key part of the under 18’s side last season making a total of 19 league appearances as well as captaining them on occasions last season. A talented and versatile defender, Brown can operate as both a centre back and a left back and the highly rated defender could feature for Ugo Ehiogu’s side during next season, with Brown potentially filling in at centre half as well as left back. The Lewisham born defender certainly has a bright career ahead of him and next season he may well make an impact for the under 21 side.

Shilow Tracey: Shilow Tracey was signed from Ebbsfleet united in January of 2016 and made ten appearances for our under 18’s scoring one goal. Tracey who is a versatile midfielder, will most probably feature for the under 21’s during next seasons campaign with Tracey now being a member of the Spurs development squad. A powerful midfielder Tracey is a talented player who I believe has the capability to make a positive impact for Ehiogu’s side next season being able to offer both offensive and defensive qualities to his game. The talented midfielder can also play as a left back, I predict a bright season ahead for the talented Shilow Tracey over the course of next seasons campaign.

Jack Roles: A young and talented midfielder, Roles featured on the bench for the under 21’s against Sunderland towards the latter end of last season. Making a total of 16 appearances for the under 18’s last season, Roles scored 3 goals, a Cyprus under 17 international, the second year scholar should make his under 21 debut next season. A tenacious and creative central midfielder Roles has a thunderous right foot and is a constant goal threat. With Lesniak out on loan until January, Roles could provide cover and in doing so help his development at the club.

Samuel Shashoua: An incredibly talented and skilful attacking midfielder Shashoua went on to make 18 appearances for the under 18’s scoring four goals in the last campaign. An England under 17 international, Shashoua is a player I rate very highly, Shashoua possess fantastic skill, ball control and great athleticism and I believe Shahsoua could offer a big offensive threat next season for Ehiogu’s side. You can read my interview with Shashoua in the link provided below, I wish all our under 18 players the very best of luck for next season. COYS⚽️

Some of our youngsters that could make an impact in the first team next season:

image

In this article I have included some of our young academy players who I believe could make an impact in the first team in the coming season. Youngsters who have already played for the first team are not included with in this article. Below each player is a video of them in action.

1. Grant Ward: the 21 year old midfielder is a talented player who recently spent a season on loan at championship side Rotherham United making 40 appearances for the millers, Ward was awarded the Rotherham United young player of the year award for the 2015-16 season. A versatile midfielder Ward provides great energy and tenacity with in the midfield and is not afraid to surge forward, Ward also has an excellent shot at his disposal. I predict Ward will get some game time for Pochettino’s side in the coming season, possibly in a domestic cup game and if he impresses with in pre season he could very much become part of Pochettino’s plans, you only need to look as far as Ryan Mason or Harry Kane to see how impressing in a cup game can edge you in to the senior squad. https://youtu.be/UVY339O_ZCY
2. Dominic Ball: Commanding centre half Dominic Ball is another player who I believe could feature in Pochettino’s squad in the coming season. The 20 year old who spent last season on loan at Scottish side Rangers completed 30 games for the Ibrox club as he demonstrated his versatility with on the field of play. Ball played with in central defence as well as in the middle of the park, in many ways Ball reminds me of Eric Dier in regards to his style of play as well as his ability to play in both defence and the midfield. A solid and powerful player Ball is a hot prospect at Spurs and is in my opinion more than capable to play senior football for Spurs in the coming season. However, this opportunity is only likely to come through cup games, whilst Ball could possibly spend another season on loan as it could be more beneficial to his development. https://youtu.be/LBuD3q2y2sA
3. Kyle Walker-Peters: Exciting right back Kyle Walker-Peters was a star for our under 21’s in the previous campaign and was rewarded with a place on the bench against Bournemouth in the Premier league last season. Walker-Peters, who is also capable of featuring at left back is in my opinion one of of our best prospects with in our youth academy, A pacy player the right back demonstrated an excellent defensive ability last season, having saw him play many times I immediately noticed he’s exceptional determination and supreme intelligence in reading the game. Kyle was awarded with the Barclays under 21 premier league player of the month for December of last year, in the same month that he signed a new contract for the club, Kyle is also a regular for England under 19’s and is named in their squad for the coming European championships. Depending on whether Yedlin stays, Walker-Peters could find himself the second choice right back for next season and with he’s pedigree could certainly feature for the senior squad next season even in the premier league.https://youtu.be/-N3mXJKYkPU
4. Connor Ogilvie: Connor Ogilvie is yet another player who could make his senior debut in the coming season, the left back who spent last season on loan at League 2 club Stevenage is a talented and consistent performer who has an excellent reading of the game, as well as an exciting offensive side to his game down the left wing. Ogilvie earned two call ups to the senior side in the 2013-14 season, in which he featured on the bench for two Europa league games against Tromso and Benfica respectively. The talented Ogilvie could potentially feature in the senior side next side next season in a domestic cup game and could fill in for our other left backs if they get injured.https://twitter.com/stevenagefc/status/698876831559258115
5. Nathan Oduwa: The extremely skilful and tricky left winger who is capped at under 23 level for Nigeria is another hot talent within the Spurs academy set up. Oduwa spent some of last season on loan at Rangers where he wowed the crowds with his flair and trickery making 15 appearances and netting once for the Scottish club. Oduwa also spent a short time on loan at Colchester, Oduwa could definitely make an impact next season if Pochettino selects him, with bags full of tricks, pace and an eye for goal the 20 year old may soon make his senior debut for the Lillywhites over the coming season, and I believe that he is ready to be involved in senior game time for Spurs. https://youtu.be/bOI310nwE7o
6. Cameron Carter-Vickers: Cameron Carter Vickers is one of the most talented young central defenders in the country and its not hard to see why with the American under 23 international excelling for both club and country at youth level over the past couple of seasons. The tall and outstandingly strong centre back has shown great maturity and intelligence for the under 21’s last season and the American possesses all the raw attributes to become a top class centre back. Still only 18 Carter-Vickers is a big part of Spurs’s future and Pochettino was not afraid to include him on the bench on four occasions in the Europa league last season. A natural leader Carter Vickers captained the under 21’s regularly during last seasons campaign and the youngsters first team debut is close, with next season likely seeing him in action for the senior squad. https://youtu.be/BEFBw1boQcc
7. Shayon Harrison: A natural and prolific goalscorer at youth level for Spurs the extremely talented striker is one of our most talented young players. I have seen Harrison play on numerous occasions over past the few seasons for both the under 18’s and under 21’s and I have been extremely impressed with the 18 year old striker, and I thoroughly believe that with all his key attributes and skill that he will become a top striker at Spurs in the future. I believe he is more than ready to be given some senior game time for Spurs over the course of next season. However, Harrison could potentially be sent on loan over the coming season, if you’d like to read my earlier in depth article on Harrison the link is provided below. https://twitter.com/spursofficial/status/719613883711770625 https://superhotspur.com/2016/04/18/shayon-harrison-tottenhams-striking-starlet/
8. Marcus Edwards: Finally on this list is young Marcus Edwards, the 17 year old winger is widely regarded as our most promising player with in our academy and after establishing himself in the under 21’s side at the end of last season the wonder kid has reportedly signed a two year deal with Spurs with the promise of a first team number and some senior playing time over the course of next season. If you’d like to read more about the dazzling wonder kid and England under 18 international, read my article on Edwards in the link provided below. https://superhotspur.com/2016/04/24/marcus-edwards-tottenhams-dazzling-wonder-kid/ https://youtu.be/SCZpYy1LZEg

Spurs 3-0 Nottingham Forest:

image.jpeg

Spurs defeated championship side Nottingham Forest 3-0 earlier today in a behind closed doors friendly at Hotspur way. The squad consisted of a mixture of first team players and youngsters as Mauricio Pochettino gave academy players including Kazaiah Sterling, Luke Amos and Anthony Georgiou some valuable experience against a good senior side. Spurs took the lead in the third minute of the match through South Korean international Son Heung-Min who fired the ball past De Vries in the Forest nets from outside the box. A mere four minutes later, Mauricio Pochettino’s side doubled their lead through Tom Carroll who got on the end of Luke Amos’s cross, Carroll fired home cleverly with a first time shot. Our winger Alex Pritchard confirmed the win after he fired home from within the right side of the box after he latched on to a well improvised flick from Nabil Bentaleb. Our new signing Victor Wanyama made his debut for Spurs in today’s match, whilst the rest of the players that I am aware played earlier today are as follows: Michel Vorm, Heung-Min Son, Alex Pritchard, Tom Carroll, Nacer Chadli, Harry Winks, Kazaiah Sterling, Anthony Georgiou and Luke Amos. Spurs didn’t release an official team sheet.

Up next for Maurico Pochettino’s men is another behind closed doors friendly against
