Tottenham fans take to Twitter to demand pro contract for Jack Roles
Whilst Tottenham fans are all busy panicking over their hopes of a top-four finish this season having picked up one point from their last 12, there is a reason to be positive for the Lilywhites. That reason comes in the form of 20-year-old goalscoring midfielder Jack Roles, who bagged twice again on Friday in a 2-0 win over Leicester for the U23s.

Jack Roles is one of the brightest young players in Tottenham’s academy system at the moment. The 20-year-old, alongside another youngster Troy Parrott, has had fans calling for him to be given a shot with the senior side on many an occasion this season and it’s not hard to see why. The youngster is one of the most consistent performers for the Lilywhites’ young sides and always seems to impress.
Whenever Tottenham fans log into Twitter and happen to stumble upon an U23 game, you can bet your bottom dollar that Roles has scored, assisted or helped towards a win, and with the way he’s been shining for the club’s age group sides it really is just a matter of time until the central midfielder gets the same chance that young Oliver Skipp and Harry Winks both did.

Jack, have they offered you a contract?
Wish they do, you made great strides this year.

The Lilywhites cannot wait to see Roles doing bits for them at senior level, but for now, they will just have to settle for his form and talent in the academy sides.
