The former Tottenham Hotspur youngster has made a major impact after breaking through at Queens Park Rangers.

Ian Holloway, manager of QPR looks on during The Emirates FA Cup Third Round match between Queens Park Rangers and Milton Keynes Dons at Loftus Road on January 6, 2018 in London, England.

Aramide Oteh may have been unable to succeed at Tottenham Hotspur, but the youngster has demonstrated that he has a chance of enjoying a successful career at Queens Park Rangers.

Despite progressing through the ranks at Tottenham’s academy, the forward had his contract terminated by mutual consent in February last year.

Having initially joined QPR on a work experience loan, Oteh proceeded to sign for the club permanently last summer and this season has made the breakthrough into the first-team for Ian Holloway’s side.

Oteh made his debut as a substitute in the Championship defeat to Millwall late last month and then featured off the bench as QPR beat Cardiff City 2-1.

The 19-year-old was given his first senior start when QPR faced Burton Albion away last weekend and certainly seized his opportunity as he found the net in a 3-1 victory.

Oteh will now hope to receive further opportunities for QPR and will be determined to prove to Tottenham that they should have given him a chance in the first-team.

An exciting prospect, Oteh has an extra cause for motivation as he looks to convince Tottenham that he could have been a success there, and it will be intriguing to see how he progresses.
