Tottenham Hotspur announced on Monday that Harry Winks and Ben Davies had signed new deals in North London.

The Spurs duo committed their future until the year 2024 in a double boost for manager Mauricio Pochettino.

But there was also an under-the-radar extension it seems.

Tottenham goalkeeper Joshua Oluwayemi revealed on his Instagram page that he too had put pen to paper on a new contract, signing until 2021.

The 18-year-old wrote: “Happy to sign a two year professional contract for @spursofficial until 2021.”

It’s a wise decision by the Lilywhites.

After all, Oluwayemi appears to have a very bright future. The England youth international conceded only 13 times in the Premier League Under-18 division last term, keeping clean sheets in eight of his 17 appearances – no goalkeeper in the league kept more.

He has a very long way to go before he is challenging in Pochettino’s senior side, but Oluwayemi, who joined Spurs’ academy in 2017, certainly seems to be on the right track.
