Good, we all have high hopes for him. Best manager in the league to work with him at this age

Surprised he's not already TBH.

He has talent there is no doubt about that. However very young so will need to be developed carefully. Fingers crossed he will mature to be a class player for Spurs in the next few years...if not sooner. Let's hope the hype doesn't affect him.

Looks a fantastic prospect. Agree with the above posts about the need for careful handling. Poch done a great job with Dele, and given time to the likes of Winks and Onamah, so bodes well!

He's a kid with great potential but as yet nothing more. I'm hoping a decade from now he's achieved more than Hoddle but let's not demand too much before he's ready. Poch has shown he knows how to develop youngsters, let's hope he do it again with this guy because he looks a real prospect.

Good news for him....should be a big lift for him to be training with the first team and learning from them.
Plus the experience of being with them on match days and hopefully getting a few mins in odd games and longer in cup games and matches that are over when we're 3-0 up with 20 mins to go etc...

The kid seems to have talent specially for his age and I hope he keeps improving....same goes for winks.
The future is looking good for us that's for sure!!!

Great news. However for the love of Spurs, get the lad on a longer contract ASAP. No more Veljkovic instances. If he might be a future gem in the heart of our crown, we need him to feel valued and ward off the vultures with larger pots of lucre.

He signed a new contract in the summer and I think under 18s can only sign for 2 years (read that somewhere but could be wrong).
