The Tottenham Hotspur starlet puts pen to paper on a professional contract.
It looks like the son of a former Tottenham Hotspur star has signed professional terms with the North London club.
Maximus Tainio uploaded a photo on his Instagram page of him signing a contract in Tottenham colours.
The 17-year-old, son of Teemu who spent three years with Spurs until 2008, is one of the club’s academy prospects.
Here’s what he posted on Instagram:
Tainio Senior left the Lilywhites 11 years ago, with his last game coming under Juande Ramos.
The former Finland international played over 60 Premier League games and helped them to a League Cup title in 2008 – the club’s most recent bit of silverware.
Tottenham have a raft of glittering players coming through the ranks and it’ll be interesting to see how Tainio Junior compares to the next crop of Spurs stars over the coming years.
The fact that he has signed professional terms is a promising sign, though there is still a lot of hard work ahead if he’s ever going to get even a sniff of senior football.
