What should Tottenham do with youngster Shayon Harrison?

The injury to Tottenham Hotspur striker Harry Kane should turn a fresh spotlight on youngster Shayon Harrison.
Prolific in youth football for Spurs, Harrison has had a tough experience on his first loan spell, where he is currently at Yeovil Town.
Harrison earned a late debut in the EFL Cup for Spurs against Liverpool earlier in the campaign, but was allowed to leave on loan in January.
Since moving to the League Two side, Harrison has found it difficult, and failed to earn a place in the Glovers’ starting XI.
He has had seven appearances in total and is yet to score, but has amassed only 156 minutes of football with just one start under his belt.
Spurs recently brought him back to play in an under-23 game before allowing him to rejoin Yeovil, so he could get playing time under his belt.
He was an unused substitute at the weekend, and Tottenham would have been right to start getting concerned about the lack of action he is getting, justified or not.

The injury to Harry Kane should add focus to Harrison’s situation, with Tottenham needing to consider whether to bring him back to compete for a starting spot.
Unable to get into Yeovil’s side, the 19-year-old would face a hard task to make it into Tottenham’s, but the team have a lack of options without Kane, especially if Vincent Janssen got injured too.
Harrison netted in pre-season against Inter Milan, and could benefit from returning to an environment he is familiar with and linking up with former under-23 colleague Harry Winks.
