Maksim Paskotsi, who joined Tottenham Hotspur as recently as in 2020 has been pictured in first-team training ahead of their upcoming clash against Wolves.
It seems as if Spurs seem to be focused on ensuring that the young prospects in their academy are blooded into senior football eventually, as seen with Brooklyn-Lyons Foster and Josh Keeley also being spotted in training recently.
As Tottenham prepare to bounce back from their shambolic FA Cup exit to Sheffield United against Wolves, Maksim Paskotsi has been seen training with Harry Kane and Co.

The 20-year-old centre-back has been described as ‘versatile’ due to his ability to slot in at left-back as well as ‘tenacious’ due to him being as pure defender by blogger Superhotspur. In fact, renowned youth football expert Jacek Kulig has compared the Estonian youngster to Raphael Varane.

Apart from Cristian Romero, who Jamie O’Hara once emphasised remains the club’s best defender, the likes of Ben Davies, Clement Lenglet, Eric Dier, Japhet Tanganga and Davinson Sanchez can be upgraded upon.
Considering Maksim Paskotsi already is training with the Tottenham first-team ahead of crucial games such as against Wolves, the question is why can he not be given a shot in the senior setup?
It certainly is possible, especially as a rotation option, as seen in the case of Oliver Skipp, who has an admirer of him in Cristian Stellini as well as Antonio Conte.
A tough-tackling defender such as Paskotsi alongside another warrior at the back in Romero could well make Spurs rock-solid at the back.
