Spurs fans here in the Tavern haven’t had much to shout about in recent times, but their blossoming youth-system is certainly one thing that’s got fans excited. After starting the season with such promise it soon fizzled out as they no longer became classed as title contenders, but fans remained hopeful and got their reward with the rise of their youth-stars.

Indeed, after seeing the first-team go from heroes to zeros in a matter of months, many supporters have been excited to see what’s being harvested in their youth-system after seeing the progress Harry Winks had made.

The perfect opportunity arrived when the Lilywhites qualified for the knockout-stages early on in proceedings, meaning that Mauricio Pochettino was able to try to find the next star in the long factory line of youngsters that Tottenham produce.

Therefore, with no better manager for the progression of the youth-ranks there’re promising times ahead for any aspiring youth player at the club.

Nevertheless, with there always being rewards for those who perform in the lower ranks of the club, fans should be keeping an eye on these TWO youth-prospects moving forward.

Juan Foyth

The Argentine has looked impressive in the games he’s featured in this season, as one of the chosen players that Pochettino is looking to turn into a star.

Having featured in 3 matches in this campaign, he’s slowly but surely following in the same process of previous youngsters that have gone through the ranks, with one very dominant performance in their last Champions League match.

He operates as a central defender, a position that sees his tall-frame benefit his play with heading becoming a crucial part of the defenders game.

Kyle Walker-Peters

The 20-year-old defender is next on the manufacturing line after repeatedly featuring in the first-team over the past couple of months.

Kyle has played in 4 matches under Mauricio Pochettino this season, with the 1 rare Premier League appearance in a competition that has been very precious to the Argentine manager.

He’s traditionally been a right-back but in his time in the first-team he’s been adopted into a 3-back formation, that sees him take up the wing-back position. A position that’s suited the defender very well with his pace and attacking intent fitting right in the mould that Pochettino wants him to work in.
