The Tottenham fans in the Football Transfer Tavern are waiting for the next young homegrown star to enter the fray at White Hart Lane…
The Lilywhites have a great track recording of bringing through young stars, with the likes of Harry Kane and Dele Alli making a breakthrough in recent years – whilst Harry Winks looks likely to be the next star to make it into the Tottenham first team.
Mauricio Pochettino must be given a lot of credit for the commitment that he has made to bringing through young talent – but he cannot stop there.
There are a host of young players in Europe that are deserving of a spot in the Premier League, and Tottenham has quickly become the ideal destination for them – and Pochettino must look towards the next young star.
With that said, it’s time for Pochettino to start looking at these 3 boy wonders in January
Ante Coric
Ante Coric is an exciting attacking midfielder right in the Tottenham mould – and he would be a shrewd investment.
It seems as though he has been around for years, but he remains just 19-years-old – with his best years still ahead of him.
He is fantastic from set pieces, a technical wizard and has an eye for a goal. In many ways, he draws a lot of parallels with Dele Alli, and that can only be a good thing for Tottenham.
He will likely be in-demand and pricey – but he will be worth every penny.
Dominic Solanke
This is a bit of a curveball, considering that players rarely move from Chelsea to Tottenham – but this would make a lot of sense for player and club.
Tottenham have a record of developing top young strikers, with Harry Kane the best example – and Solanke is right in that mould.
Like Kane, he might not possess the technical ability, but he is a natural forward and goalscorer.
Solanke’s contract expires at the end of the season, and with no renewal in sight, Tottenham could get themselves a great deal.
Moussa Dembele
Moussa Dembele is a man-in-demand, with the young Celtic forward making a real name for himself in Scotland.
He moved to Celtic over the summer, and since then, he has not stopped scoring.
Despite being just 20-years-old he is already building up an impressive pedigree of Champions League and SPL experience – and a big money move is definitely on the cards.
Like with Solanke, Tottenham could use their track record to attract the young forward.
