Seven Spurs youngsters to look out for next season.

Current Spurs boss Tim Sherwood has insisted he wants to promote youth development at White Hart Lane next season, rather than spend big on new players.

Read more Tottenham Hotspur news.
Sherwood’s future at the club remains uncertain but he has already successful integrated some homegrown talents and Spurs boast lots of talented youngsters.

We identify seven players who could have a big impact next season, regardless of the manager:

Tom Carroll

The tidy playmaker is highly regarded at White Hart Lane and Tim Sherwood has already confirmed Carroll will be part of his first team squad next season, if the head-coach can keep his job that is! Despite questions over the 21-year-old’s stature, Carroll has enjoyed a decent season on loan at QPR but he faces plenty of competition for places at Spurs, with the likes of Mousa Dembele, Sandro, Paulinho, Nacer Chadli, Etienne Capoue, Lewis Holtby and more set to competing for a central midfield place next term.

I persevered with the article after being sent to NBA stuff twice and the App Store once!

Tom Carroll, Kane, Bentaleb, Alex Pritchard, Ryan Fredericks, Zeki Fryers and Veljkovic are the 7 players.

Nothing groundbreaking in the article but IMO it is true that all 7 of those players have a realistic chance at breaking through (some already have) to first team, whether as squad players or first teamers. Pretty impressive and I don't know of any other team that has that number of youngsters who have a strong chance.

When you then add some of the others who have a good chance in the future like Archer, Winks, McEvoy, Coulthirst and maybe even Coulibaly if he can ever fulfil the obvious potential then over the next few years we could be a squad with in the region of 50% homegrown players and that would be great work by the club. Really hope they do make it as I think it would also give us a much more passionate team who have a proper affinity with the club and that counts for a lot to me.

We all forget about Christian ceballos, mason, Mcevoys, then from our unders we have a tonne of talent coming though winks, miller, josj onomah Sanoup, ogivile, oduwa,

I think mason injury problems are a real shame as his a really good player.

I have heard that one to really watch out for is Akayindi - forward banging them in for the under 18's and really highly rated.

Thought that Ryan Fredericks has been exceptional when i have seen him, but my fear for Carroll is the list of players in front of him.

From what I've seen he is unlikely to make it. Onomah, Oduwa and Kyle Walker-Peters look the best from the academy based on what I have seen/reports.

I keep ending up with an article about Wilson Palacious.

I once saw an interview with Dawson and Jenas and the interviewer said

"I discovered that all commentators pronounce Palacios incorrectly. It's actually pronounced 'pellatio', though I won't tell you what that rhymes with.'

Irrelevant post of the day brought to by Fanatix.

Our crop of youngsters would need an exceptional tactician as head coach to really mould them into first team stars. Surely not dim Tim.

I thought that Sherwood overlooked Youth development in his previous role? If that is true then surely he has helped develope these very players?
