Tottenham Hotspur midfielder James Maddison has heaped praise on his younger teammates, who have impressed so far during the pre-season campaign.

Tottenham’s talented youngsters

Pre-season provides the chance for fringe players to step up and get some minutes in the first team, and Tottenham’s younger stars are seizing their opportunity in style.

Excluding the somewhat bizarre fixture in Australia against Newcastle, three days after the Premier League season concluded, Spurs have won all three of their summer friendlies, against Hearts, QPR and Vissel Kobe.

And it is Tottenham’s rising stars who have caught the eye, with 16-year-old Mikey Moore netting twice in pre-season, while strikers Dane Scarlett and Will Lankshear have both scored (Sofascore).

And Tottenham’s array of young talent is only getting stronger, with the signings of Swedish international, Lucas Bergvall, and Leeds United midfielder, Archie Gray, while South Korean winger Yang Min-huk will join the squad in January next year (Transfer Markt).

Maddison can’t believe the Hotspur Way talent

Spurs assistant manager, Matt Wells, told Spursplay that Maddison was impressed with Tottenham’s youngsters.

Wells said: “I was speaking with James Maddison; he was saying that he can’t believe some of the talent of our young players.”

Although Maddison will be keen to retain his place in the first team, he will be hopeful that Spurs can hold on to their promising prospects, with Real Madrid, PSG and Borussia Dortmund all recently showing an interest in Mikey Moore (HITC).

SpursWeb opinion

Maddison is spot on about Tottenham’s young players. Although supporters have championed academy graduates in the past that have since struggled, the quality on show at the moment is on another level.

Even rival fans have commented that Spurs are assembling a strong squad for the future. It certainly looks like Big Ange is building something special.
