Tottenham have a big summer ahead if they want to once again mount a serious title challenge, and our resident Spurs fans here in the Transfer Tavern are excited for what’s to come!
With the likes of Manchester City, Chelsea, Arsenal and Man United all looking more prepared than ever to put last season behind them and restore past glory.
Part of Spurs’ success last season was down to the togetherness that has been forged amongst a group of young, hungry players.
In order to succeed further that is something that needs to harnessed and utilised to it’s up most potential.
In adding to his squad, Pochettino could risk losing this aspect which would really hamper their chances next season, however, no squad is perfect and additions do need to be made.
In order to maintain a balance, Pochettino would be best off looking to bring in some more younger talent to add to his group and let them grow within his side.
How better to sooth the disappointment of being pipped by your closest rivals in the league once again than by nabbing their best young talent? Here are FOUR wonderkids that Spurs should look so sign from Arsenal…..

Vlad Dragomir
The Romanian midfielder joined Arsenal’s academy last June, aged 16, with the Gunners having beaten Inter Milan, amongst others, to his signature.
Since joining Dragomir has impressed those in the academy and has been called up to train with the first team on regular occasions.
At times the youngster has been compared to Real Madrid and Germany’s Toni Kroos due to his ability to pick a pass and create chances whether that be from deep in midfield or in more of a no. 10 role.
The traits that Dragomir is showing at such a young age for the Gunners mean that he would be a perfect fit for a Pochettino midfield across North London.
Jeff Reine-Adelaide
Quite possibly the most exciting prospect currently in the ranks of the Arsenal academy, Adelaide possesses great pace, flair and confidence on the ball when taking people on.
The 18-year-old is comfortable when being deployed anywhere in the front line which will considerably boost his chance of breaking into a first team.
The Frenchman made two appearances for the Arsenal first team in the FA Cup last season and after scoring a magnificent goal for the U21s against Swansea, was compared to Premier League legend, Matt Le Tissier.
Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain
Not quite still in the bracket of the wonderkid, being that he is now 22, but still an exceedingly promising youngster nonetheless.
If kept fit, Chamberlain offers so much to a side in his technique, power and willingness to take on his man, he would fit into any side in the Premier League.
Furthermore it has been reported that he is not happy with the time he is being given by Arsene Wenger at Arsenal and thus is on the lookout for a new club.
Chamberlain is young, talented and hungry to prove himself at this level and therefore would be an excellent addition to the Spurs squad.
Dan Crowley
Another midfielder, but the Gunners seem to have a talent for producing them.
Crowley is yet another hot prospect who has been on the verge of Wenger’s first team over the past season.
Compared to fellow academy product Jack Wilshere, which is high praise at that age considering the promise that Wilshere showed before all those injuries, Crowley is seen as a midfielder who is yet to be moulded.
He could, if a manager chooses be tamed to play a more holding role and anchor the middle of the park and test and probe defences from a far, or, he could simply be unleashed further up to run at the back four and cause real problems.
