The Tottenham Hotspur teenager impressed in pre-season and has been promoted to the first-team squad.
Tottenham Hotspur have so many talented youngsters on their books that fans may struggle to decide which one to get most excited about.
There is Marcus Edwards, obviously, who will be looking to build on last season’s 15-minute cameo against Gillingham in the EFL Cup, while Kyle Walker-Peters should get his fair share of chances this season despite the recent arrival of Serge Aurier.
But an even younger prospect could be set for his competitive Tottenham debut after impressing this summer in the form of Tashan Oakley-Boothe.
The 17-year-old shone for Spurs over the summer and, while he is still making his way with the club’s under-23s, he is clearly rated highly by his manager Mauricio Pochettino and could get a chance when Tottenham face either Barnsley or Derby County later this month.
On 19 September Tottenham kick off their latest EFL Cup campaign and, given their presence in the Champions League and their hopes of another title tilt, the competition could allow some of the club’s next generation to shine.
Oakley-Boothes best chance may be from the bench, where he sat unused for Tottenham’s league game against Burnley prior to the international break, and if he comes on expect him to impress just as he did against the likes of Roma earlier this summer.
