The Tottenham Hotspur youngsters were given a chance to shine in the FA Cup last night.
Tottenham boss Mauricio Pochettino spoke to reporters today, and offered high words of praise for talented young duo George Marsh and Timothy (TJ) Eyoma, suggesting that they both have promising futures in the game, as quoted by Football.London.
Marsh, 20, was brought on in the 65th minute against Tranmere, whilst Eyoma, 18, was given an 11 minute run out.
Spurs have a wonderfully talented crop of youngsters coming through the ranks at the moment, with 18-year-old Oliver Skipp proving that it is possible to break into Pochettino’s first-team.
Marsh and Eyoma seem to be the next two stars who could break out over the next few months, and Pochettino made it clear last night that he believes that both players have great futures at the club, as quoted by Football.London:
“These are players who have been involved this season for us. George and TJ they were involved in the pre-season tour in the summer. I think they are players that I hope have a future with us in the first team.”
Tottenham have become well-known for the manner in which they provide a platform for their up and coming youngsters to flourish, and that has to be considered as one of the great things about Poch.
Any youngster who is good enough will be given the chance to impress, and the same certainly can’t be said at some of the other top clubs in England.
