Love him – Pundit praises exciting Tottenham youngster overshadowed by Moore and Lankshear
Tottenham Hotspur’s young talents Mikey Moore and Will Lankshear have been drawing significant attention under the guidance of Ange Postecoglou this season, yet there are other promising players worth monitoring in the club’s ranks.
Moore and Lankshear have showcased their potential, with Lankshear making appearances in two Premier League matchday squads and leading the line in a Europa League clash against Ferencvaros, where Spurs claimed a 2-1 victory.
Postecoglou seems confident in Lankshear’s abilities, noting his impressive record of 26 goals in 34 appearances for Tottenham’s Under-21 team.
As the season progresses, the likelihood of seeing Lankshear on the field increases, as he continues to catch the coach’s eye.
Meanwhile, Moore, at only 17 years old, has been equally impressive, securing seven senior appearances this season and starting in the Europa League matches against Ferencvaros and AZ Alkmaar.
Despite being close to registering his first assist, a missed opportunity by Timo Werner against Ferencvaros prevented Moore from adding to his stats.
Tottenham’s Next Five Premier League Matches
| Date | Match |
|---|---|
| October 27 | Crystal Palace vs Tottenham |
| November 3 | Tottenham vs Aston Villa |
| November 10 | Tottenham vs Ipswich Town |
| November 23 | Man City vs Tottenham |
| December 1 | Tottenham vs Fulham |
Moore has shown his potential not only in European competition but also in the Premier League, making brief appearances against teams like Brentford, Manchester United, and Brighton.
His consistent inclusion in recent matchday squads highlights the belief Postecoglou and his coaching staff have in him, with many within the club speculating that Moore could become Tottenham’s next breakout star.
As Tottenham prepares to face Crystal Palace, Moore remains a strong candidate to start, with Postecoglou praising his maturity and composure for his age, stating, “He handles things really well. Sometimes young players are exciting, but you can see pitfalls down the road; with him, you don’t see that.”
In addition to Moore and Lankshear, pundit John Wenham has spoken highly of another promising young forward at Tottenham: Dane Scarlett. Although not yet a regular fixture in the squad, Scarlett has shown impressive form while on loan at Oxford United, catching the attention of England’s youth coaches.
He has already captained England’s Under-20 team and scored in his debut for the Under-21s, underscoring his promising future. Scarlett’s loan stint has proven beneficial for his development, as he continues to find the back of the net with confidence, as evidenced by his remarkable header against West Brom, which helped him secure a starting role in subsequent games.
Wenham believes Scarlett’s growing confidence and form are invaluable, stating, “He was captain of the Under-20s and scored right away for the Under-21s. His recent performances show his goal-scoring instincts and he keeps proving it for England and Oxford United.”
This season presents a wealth of opportunity for Tottenham’s young talent, with Postecoglou at the helm, committed to fostering a culture where youth players like Moore, Lankshear, and Scarlett have the support and guidance to rise through the ranks and make an impact on the first team.
